EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handmade chair, created by American artist Glenn Wilson in the early 1940s, is a stunning example of functional art from the Decade of Depression and the onset of World War II. The chair, with its plain yet elegant design, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the era. The chair's frame is made of wood, with a woven rush bottom and a simple, unadorned wooden seat. The backrest is upholstered with a plain fabric, adding to the chair's understated yet elegant appearance. Wilson's use of watercolor, colored pencil, graphite, and pen and ink on paperboard to render this piece is a visual delight. The intricate details of the chair's construction are captured with remarkable precision, from the delicate lines of the woven rush to the subtle textures of the wood grain. This chair, with its functional yet artistic design, is a perfect representation of the Decorative Arts movement of the 1930s and 1940s in America. It is a reminder of a time when art and craft were not separate entities, but rather intertwined in the daily lives of people. This piece, now a cherished item in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is an important addition to the Index of American Design and a testament to the rich heritage of American art and craftsmanship.
