EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor, graphite, and colored pencil illustration by American artist Paul Ward, titled "Bandbox," dates back to the late 1930s. The vibrant image showcases a collection of bandboxes, neatly stacked and arranged against a blue background. Each box, with its intricate patterns and geometric shapes, exudes a sense of functional artistry that was characteristic of the Decorative Arts genre during the 1930s and 1940s. The urban scene depicted in this artwork is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of America during this period. The boxes, with their varied colors and textures, evoke a sense of nostalgia and remind us of a time when such simple, handcrafted items held significant value. Paul Ward's illustration is a prime example of the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s. The project aimed to document and preserve American folk art and traditional crafts. Ward's work, with its meticulous attention to detail and authentic representation of the subject matter, is a valuable addition to this important collection. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is home to this stunning piece, which continues to captivate audiences with its timeless appeal and artistic merit. The Bandbox illustration is not only a beautiful work of art but also a significant historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the past and the artistic sensibilities of the 20th century.
