EDITORS COMMENTS
This work of art, titled "Bee Basket and Cover" by Charlotte Angus, dates back to the 1930s and 1940s, showcasing the intricate beauty and detail of American folk art during that era. Charlotte Angus, an accomplished artist, brought this piece to life using watercolour and graphite on paperboard. The image depicts a woven bee basket, complete with a matching cover, teeming with bees and other insects. The basket's design is reminiscent of the traditional basket weave technique, which was popular during this time period. The scene is set against a neutral background, allowing the vibrant colours and intricate patterns of the bees and basket to take centre stage. The bees, depicted in various stages of flight and rest, add a lively energy to the piece, while the basket's weave adds a textured and tactile element. The cover, with its delicate floral design, complements the basket perfectly. This artwork is a testament to the rich heritage of American folk art and the natural world's influence on artists of the 20th century. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this piece in its collection, which serves as an important addition to the Index of American Design. The "Bee Basket and Cover" by Charlotte Angus is not only a beautiful work of art but also a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the decorative arts and design of the 1930s and 1940s in the United States.
