EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a ceramic crock by American artist Elsie Wein, created around 1939. The crock, with its distinctive double handles and robust, functional design, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. The vibrant, watercolor graphite and colored pencil rendering on paperboard by Wein brings the crock to life, capturing every intricate detail of its decorative surface. The taupe base, adorned with geometric patterns and bold blue accents, is a striking contrast to the crisp white handles. The two handles, each with a subtle curve, provide a sense of balance and symmetry, making this a truly beautiful and functional object. This exquisite piece, now a cherished item in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is an excellent representation of the decorative arts movement during the 20th century. The index of American Design, a comprehensive documentation of American-made decorative arts from the Colonial period to the mid-20th century, includes this crock as a significant period piece. Elsie Wein's masterful depiction of this humble yet iconic American ceramic not only showcases her exceptional artistic talent but also highlights the importance of functional art in our daily lives. The crock, with its timeless design, continues to inspire and captivate viewers, making it a true treasure in the world of decorative arts.
