Inspired by the mesmerizing colour wheel, artists in the 1930s and 1940s created stunning pieces that continue to captivate us today. Take for instance Walter W. Jennings' clock from 1936, an exquisite blend of hues that not only tells time but also adds a touch of artistic flair to any space. Eleanor Gausser's child's dress from 1938 showcases her mastery in combining colours harmoniously, creating a garment that is both playful and stylish. Moving on to functional yet beautiful objects, Eleanor Gausser strikes again with her Jewel Box from 1935/1942. The carefully chosen colours make this piece truly shine like precious gems within its compartments. Eva Fox's gun holster from circa 1936 demonstrates how even utilitarian items can be transformed into works of art through thoughtful colour selection. Ulrich Fischer's chest with drawers from 1937 is not just practical storage; it also serves as an expression of creativity through its carefully curated palette. Joseph Ficcadenti's Hume Cash Register from circa 1939 combines functionality with aesthetics seamlessly, proving that even mundane objects can be elevated by striking colour choices. Catherine Fowler brings life to printed cotton fabric in her creation from c. 1941 - patterns bursting with vibrant shades that add personality to any room or outfit. Dorothea A. Farrington takes us back in time with her linen press from 1935/1942, showcasing how colours can evoke nostalgia while remaining timeless.
