Card Table, 1935/1942
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by Francis Borelli, showcasing the elegance and intricacy of American decorative arts during the 1930s and 1940s. This watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite drawing on paperboard offers a detailed and vivid representation of a card table, complete with moveable casters and wheels. The table, a period item from the United States, is depicted in its entirety, with each element meticulously rendered. The tabletop, brown and smooth, is adorned with a green felt surface, worn and slightly faded, suggesting years of use. The table's legs, slender and sturdy, are supported by four casters, each with a wheel that allows the table to be easily moved. The casters, with their rollers and metal detailing, add an industrial touch to the otherwise traditional design. Borelli's use of color and contrast adds depth and dimension to the drawing. The table's wood grain is highlighted by the shadows cast by the casters, while the green felt and metal casters stand out against the brown background. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the subtle textures and patterns, making this work a must-see for anyone interested in the decorative arts of the 20th century. This artwork, a treasure from the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is an excellent example of the index of American design. It is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of American artists and furniture makers during the Thirties and Forties. Whether viewed as a standalone piece or as part of a larger collection, "Card Table, 1935/1942" is a captivating and intriguing work that invites closer inspection and appreciation.
