EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Design for a Monumental Vase" by Augustin Pajou, dates back to the 1770s and offers a glimpse into the ornate and intricate decorative arts of 18th century France. Augustin Pajou (1730-1771), a renowned French sculptor and designer, created this conceptual drawing for a monumental vase using pen brush and brown and black ink, with brown wash and traces of black chalk heightened with white gouache on buff laid paper. The design was later laid down on cream laid card. The vase, depicted in monochrome, is a grand and ornamental piece, reflecting the opulence and elegance of the time. Its decorative elements include intricate floral motifs, geometric patterns, and scrolling vines, all executed with meticulous attention to detail. The large size of the vase, which is implied rather than explicitly shown in the drawing, further emphasizes its monumental nature. This print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of France during the 18th century and the enduring appeal of decorative arts. It is currently housed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world. The drawing provides a unique window into the artistic process, offering a glimpse into the mind of the artist as he envisioned and designed this magnificent work of art.
