EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning side chair, created by American artist Ruth Bialostosky in the late 1930s, showcases the beauty and craftsmanship of the Decorative Arts movement during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The Side Chair, as it is titled, is a testament to Bialostosky's mastery of hand carving, as evidenced by the intricate designs adorning the chair's wooden frame. The chair's seat is a unique combination of woven rush bottom and upholstery, adding both texture and comfort to the piece. The Side Chair is a period item that embodies the artistic sensibilities of the time, with its colorful watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite accents on paperboard, as well as its use of hand carved wood. The chair's simple yet elegant design, with its carved legs and upholstered back, makes it a timeless addition to any home or art collection. Bialostosky's Side Chair is a standout piece in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.'s Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American art and design from the colonial period to the present day. The chair's provenance as a significant piece of American heritage art makes it a must-see for anyone interested in the history and evolution of American design. Whether displayed in a modern art gallery or a traditional home setting, the Side Chair by Ruth Bialostosky is a beautiful and functional work of art that transcends time and continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its intricate carving, vibrant colors, and classic design.
