Secretary, c. 1939 - A Timeless Blend of Functionality and Design
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a remarkable piece of American heritage art - the Secretary cabinet from the late 1930s. Created by the talented artist Ralph Morton, this exquisite item represents an era when functional furniture seamlessly merged with artistic craftsmanship. The Secretary cabinet stands as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity that defined mid-20th century America. Crafted from wood, its elegant design features delicate watercolor colored pencil gouache and graphite detailing on paperboard, adding depth and character to its already stunning appearance. With its clean lines and meticulous attention to detail, this period item exudes timeless charm. The desk component offers ample space for writing or working while concealing compartments for storing documents or personal belongings. Its linen press provides additional storage options in a compact yet efficient manner. Morton's artwork beautifully captures not only the physical attributes of this secretary but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. This piece transports viewers back to a time when quality craftsmanship was valued above all else. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this photograph print serves as both an homage to American history and an inspiration for contemporary designers seeking to blend functionality with aesthetic appeal. It reminds us that even everyday objects can be elevated into works of art through skillful execution and thoughtful design choices.
