EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chair, created by American artist Louita Gourley in the early 1940s, is a beautiful example of functional art from the Decade of Design in America. The chair, titled "Chair, c. 1941," is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. The chair is a masterful work of carved wood, with intricate patterns and designs adorning its plain, simple frame. The artist's skilled use of color and color pencil on paperboard adds depth and dimension to the piece, making it a visual delight. The wooden chair, with its understated elegance, is a perfect representation of the plain and simple design aesthetic that was popular during this period. The chair is currently housed in the Decorative Arts and Sculpture Gallery of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it is a cherished item in the Index of American Design. The National Gallery of Art is one of the most renowned art institutions in the United States, and the acquisition of this chair is a significant addition to its collection. Louita Gourley was a prolific artist, known for her woodcarvings and watercolors. Her work reflects a deep appreciation for the natural world and a commitment to the traditional craft of woodcarving. The "Chair, c. 1941" is a prime example of her artistic vision and skill, and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 20th century.
