EDITORS COMMENTS
Frank Wenger's Desk, 1935/1942, is a stunning example of American decorative arts from the 1930s and 1940s. This watercolor, colored pencil, gouache, and graphite on paperboard work by Wenger captures the essence of a functional and elegant writing desk from this period. The desk, which could be identified as a scrutoire or a brown bureau, is depicted with a rich green color and intricate wood grain detail, showcasing both the artist's skillful use of color and his appreciation for the heritage of American homeware. The desk, with its baize top and ornate woodwork, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the time. The use of brown and green colors adds a warm and inviting feel to the piece, making it a fitting addition to any home or art gallery. This item, which is both a period piece and an object of art, is a reminder of the functional beauty of furniture during the Thirties and Forties in the United States. The Desk, 1935/1942, is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts, and is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation of a bygone era but also as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the country's artistic and cultural heritage.
