EDITORS COMMENTS
Bandbox, c. 1936" is a vibrant and evocative watercolor and gouache painting on paperboard by American artist Stewart Wheeler. This work of art, created during the 1930s, transports us back in time to a rural scene in the United States. The painting depicts a series of multicolored bandboxes, each adorned with intricate lettering and decorative designs, neatly stacked on a wooden cart. The cart, pulled by a pair of strong horses, is situated in front of a red barn with a windmill in the background. The scene exudes a sense of nostalgia and the simple pleasures of rural life during the 1930s and 1940s in America. Wheeler's use of color and texture adds depth and dimension to the painting, making the bandboxes appear almost three-dimensional. The horses, with their muscular forms and expressive eyes, seem to come alive, adding a sense of movement and energy to the scene. The railroad tracks in the distance serve as a reminder of the transportation infrastructure that connected rural communities to the rest of the country. This painting is an excellent example of the Regionalism genre, which celebrated the unique character and charm of rural America during this period. It is also an important work in the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts and fine arts compiled by the Smithsonian Institution between 1932 and 1942. "Bandbox, c. 1936" is a cherished piece of American heritage art that continues to captivate viewers with its charming depiction of a bygone era. The painting is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
