Chest, c. 1938
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by the American artist John Dana, showcasing his exceptional skill in wood carving. This masterpiece, created during the 1930s or 1940s, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States. The intricately carved wooden chest, with its floral motifs, exemplifies the functional beauty of the decorative arts during this period. The chest's surface is adorned with an abundance of intricate designs, each one meticulously hand-carved by Dana. The floral motifs, with their vibrant colors brought to life through watercolor, colored pencil, pen and ink, and graphite on paperboard, add a pop of visual interest against the dark wood grain. This stunning piece, now a cherished item in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., stands as a symbol of the intricacy and craftsmanship that characterized American art during the 1930s and 1940s. The chest's design, with its delicate yet robust carvings, is a reflection of the period's unique blend of functional and artistic values. John Dana's "Chest, c. 1938" is not just a piece of furniture but a work of art that transcends its original purpose. It is a reminder of a time when art and craftsmanship were deeply intertwined, and functional objects were cherished for their aesthetic value. This beautiful chest, with its timeless design and intricate carvings, continues to inspire and captivate audiences at the National Gallery of Art and beyond.
