EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Chest of Drawers, created by American artist Frank Wenger in the late 1930s, is a prime example of the decorative arts movement during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The piece, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases Wenger's masterful wood carving skills, with intricate brown and colored designs embellishing the surface of the wooden chest. Wenger, known for his handicrafts and functional art, used a combination of watercolor, colored pencil, pen and ink, and graphite on paperboard to create a detailed drawing of the chest before bringing it to life in three dimensions. The result is a piece that is both visually striking and functional, with each drawer offering a peek into the artist's meticulous attention to detail. The Chest of Drawers is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and design during the 20th century. The 1930s and 1940s were a time of innovation and experimentation in the arts, and Wenger's work reflects the period's emphasis on functional beauty and the integration of art into everyday life. Today, the Chest of Drawers can be found on display at the National Gallery of Art, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. A true masterpiece of American craftsmanship, this piece is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of decorative arts and the evolution of American design.
