Card Counters, c. 1936 - A Glimpse into American Leisure of the 1930s
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Jean Gordon, titled "Card Counters, c. 1936" offers a fascinating snapshot of American leisure during the 1930s. The artwork is part of the Index of American Design collection and can be found at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. In this colorful watercolor and graphite depiction, Gordon skillfully captures a group engrossed in a card game. The vibrant hues and intricate details bring to life the energy and camaraderie shared amongst these players as they indulge in their pastime. The scene showcases an era when card games were not just a means of entertainment but also served as social gatherings for friends and family. It reflects how people sought solace from daily struggles through simple pleasures like engaging in friendly competition. Gordon's work exemplifies her talent for capturing both functional design elements and decorative arts within her art pieces. Her attention to detail allows viewers to appreciate every aspect – from the expressions on each player's face to the carefully crafted patterns on their clothing. As we admire this period item, it transports us back to an America where leisure activities provided respite from challenging times. This artwork serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, human connection and enjoyment have always played vital roles in our lives.
