EDITORS COMMENTS
Adolph Opstad's Cuspidor, created around 1941, is a captivating work of art that showcases the artist's exceptional talent for blending functionality and aesthetics. This decorative object, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a prime example of American art from the 1930s and 1940s. The cuspidor, a type of container used to spit or discard liquid, is depicted in this artwork as an intricately designed vessel in the form of a monkey. The monkey, with its expressive face and playful demeanor, adds a charming and whimsical touch to the otherwise mundane object. Opstad masterfully employed watercolor, graphite, and colored pencil on paperboard to bring the monkey to life, capturing its dark brown fur, wrinkled skin, and beady eyes with remarkable detail. The cuspidor's lid, which features a smaller monkey peeking out, adds an element of surprise and delight. The overall design is both functional and decorative, making it an intriguing addition to any art collection or gallery. This artwork, with its rich heritage and index of American design, is a testament to Opstad's artistic vision and the unique cultural history of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. The monkey cuspidor, with its dark brown color and primate motif, is a unique and intriguing object that continues to captivate viewers and inspire artists to this day.
