Watercolour and graphite on paperboard: A glimpse into the everyday objects of yesteryears. Step back in time with these exquisite artworks, capturing the beauty of simple yet essential items that adorned homes decades ago. Joseph Sudek, a masterful creator, brings us the Sugar Bowl and Cup from 1936, showcasing delicate brushstrokes that breathe life into these functional pieces. Continuing our journey through time, we encounter the Dinner Tray and Server Dish also by Joseph Sudek from 1937. These captivating works invite us to imagine elegant meals served upon them, evoking a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. Herman O. Stroh's embroidery piece from 1941 adds another layer of artistry to this collection. With meticulous attention to detail, Stroh captures the intricate patterns and textures found in traditional needlework. Moving beyond domesticity, Herman O. Stroh's Calking Chisel Used in Milwaukee Ship Yard (1940) takes us into the realm of industry. This artwork pays homage to hardworking individuals who shaped our world with their craftsmanship. The Wick Trimmer (1941) and Whale Oil Lamp (1938), both by Herman O. Stroh, transport us back to a time when oil lamps illuminated households before electricity became commonplace. The artist's skillful rendering allows us to appreciate the elegance and functionality of these now-obsolete objects. Herman O. Stroh's Smoothing Plane (1940) and Sled Starting Hook (1940) showcase tools used for manual labor during an era when technology was still evolving rapidly. Lastly, we have Herman O. Stroh's Door Plate from 1939—a small but significant piece that reminds us how even mundane objects can possess artistic charm when viewed through skilled eyes. These watercolour and graphite creations on paperboard offer glimpses into history—reminders of the beauty and craftsmanship that once surrounded us in our daily lives.
