EDITORS COMMENTS
Chest Design, 1935/1942" is a stunning watercolor gouache and graphite on paper artwork created by the American artist Etna Wiswall. This masterpiece showcases a beautifully decorated chest from the 1930s or 1940s, a period when intricate decorative arts were in vogue in the United States. The chest, with its wooden structure, is adorned with multicolored designs, featuring roses and other floral motifs, as well as geometric patterns. The use of pink and other vibrant colors adds a playful and feminine touch to the piece. The artwork is a testament to the rich heritage of American decorative arts during the 20th century. Etna Wiswall's attention to detail and skillful use of color and brushwork bring the chest to life, making it a captivating subject for this genre scene. The artwork is reminiscent of the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s, which aimed to document and preserve American decorative arts. This artwork is not only a period item but also a work of art in its own right, and would make a beautiful addition to any art center, art gallery, or private collection. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is one possible location where this artwork could be displayed, allowing future generations to appreciate the intricacies and beauty of Etna Wiswall's Chest Design.
