EDITORS COMMENTS
John Bodine's 'Spice Box' (c. 1938) is a captivating work of art that showcases the artist's exceptional talent for blending color and shape in a decorative and functional design. This stunning watercolor and graphite on paperboard creation depicts a round, wooden spice box adorned with multicolored, circular patterns and intricate lettering. The warm orange color of the box's surface adds a sense of nostalgia, transporting us back to the 1930s and 1940s in America. Bodine's attention to detail is evident in the precise lettering and the meticulously rendered textures of the wooden box. The spices contained within are suggested by the various hues of color, from deep browns to vibrant reds and greens. The circular patterns on the box's exterior add a sense of rhythm and harmony, while the overall shape of the spice box is both inviting and intriguing. This artwork is an excellent example of the rich heritage of American decorative arts and design from the 20th century. It is currently housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it is part of the Index of American Design collection. The Spice Box by John Bodine is not only a beautiful work of art but also a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional craftsmanship and the use of natural materials in American art.
