Cup
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning work on paperboard by American artist Edward White from the 1930s. This exquisite piece, created in 1938, is a watercolor and graphite rendering of a delicate porcelain cup adorned with intricate floral designs. The cup's elegant shape and the vibrant colors of the flowers leap out from the two-dimensional surface, creating a sense of depth and dimension. White's mastery of line and color is evident in the delicate floral patterns that swirl around the cup's exterior. The artist's use of white as a dominant color adds a sense of purity and simplicity to the design, while the contrasting hues of the flowers bring the piece to life. The cup's simple, functional form is enhanced by the decorative elements, making it a beautiful example of the intersection of art and everyday life in the 1930s and 1940s. This artwork is a testament to the rich heritage of American decorative arts during the 20th century. It is a period item that reflects the aesthetic sensibilities of the time, with its emphasis on natural forms and intricate detail. The cup's design is reminiscent of the crockery and tableware produced during this era, which often featured floral patterns and vibrant glazes. "Cup" is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, and would be a striking addition to any home. Its timeless beauty and intricate detail make it a conversation starter and a source of inspiration for artists and designers alike. This piece is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts and crafts from the Colonial period to the present day.
