EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor graphite and colored pencil rendering on paperboard by Emil Hagen captures the essence of a classic Shaker Chair from the late 1930s. The chair, with its functional yet elegant design, is a testament to the artistic and practical traditions of the United Society of Believers, also known as the Shakers. The chair's dark brown, upholstered seat and back, contrasting with the wooden frame, adds to its timeless appeal. The woven rush bottom adds an element of texture and natural beauty. The Shakers were a religious sect that originated in England in the late 18th century and settled in the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries. They were known for their minimalist and functional approach to design, which is reflected in this chair. The Shakers believed that everything they made should be of the highest quality and serve a practical purpose. This Shaker Chair, created by Emil Hagen in the 1930s, is an important example of the Shaker design tradition. It is a period item from the 20th century, specifically the 1930s and 1940s, and is an excellent representation of American decorative arts from this era. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. has included this piece in their Index of American Design, recognizing its significance in the history of American art and design. The chair's simple yet beautiful design, combined with the skillful use of watercolor graphite and colored pencil, make this a stunning piece of art that would be a welcome addition to any art center, art gallery, or personal collection.
