EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative watercolor and graphite on paper artwork, titled "Mold," was created by American artist Robert Calvin in approximately 1938. The image captures a wooden kitchenware piece, showcasing intricate mold or mould patterns. The artwork is a testament to the functional art movement of the 1930s and 1940s, where art and design intersected, and everyday objects were elevated to works of art. The decorative arts of this era were characterized by a strong sense of heritage and nostalgia, reflecting the period's cultural shifts and economic changes. Calvin's use of color and shape in "Mold" highlights the beauty and uniqueness of the wooden kitchenware, which would have been a common household item during this time in America. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., holds this piece in its collection as part of the Index of American Design. The Index is a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts and fine arts produced or used between 1650 and 1875, and later expanded to include works from the late 19th and 20th centuries. This acquisition further solidifies the importance of Calvin's work in documenting and preserving American artistic heritage. "Mold" is a striking example of the functional art movement, demonstrating how art and design could coexist in everyday life. The intricate patterns and textures depicted in the artwork invite viewers to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of the wooden kitchenware, while also serving as a window into the past and the cultural context of the time.
