Press Cupboard, c. 1938
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Charles Henning, an American creator from the 20th century. This close-up view of a wooden cupboard takes us back to the nostalgic era of the 1930s in America. Henning's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this artwork, as he skillfully combines watercolor colored pencil and graphite on paperboard to bring out the rich colors and textures of the piece. The warm hues and intricate patterns evoke a sense of old-fashioned charm and craftsmanship. The press cupboard itself serves as a symbol of domesticity and functionality. It was commonly used during that time period for storing linens and clothes, reflecting the country's practical approach towards household chores. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this drawing is part of Henning's contribution to the Index of American Design project. Through his artistry, he aimed to document various objects representative of American heritage. As we admire this artwork today, it not only offers us a glimpse into historical furniture design but also reminds us of simpler times when handcrafted pieces held great value. "Press Cupboard, c. 1938" stands as a testament to Henning's talent for capturing beauty in everyday objects while preserving America's cultural legacy through his art.
