EDITORS COMMENTS
John Wilkes' Family Record, created around 1937, is a captivating work of art that beautifully captures the essence of American family life during the 1930s and 1940s. This watercolor, graphite, and colored pencil on paperboard piece showcases a meticulously designed family tree, adorned with vibrant floral patterns and intricate decorative elements. The index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. houses this precious piece, which serves as an important document of the period. The artwork's title, "Family Record," suggests a personal and sentimental connection to the past, as it likely represents the ancestors of the artist or his clients. The rich colors and detailed floral designs evoke a sense of warmth and nostalgia, transporting us back to a simpler time in American history. The functional and decorative aspects of the piece make it a fascinating blend of art and heritage. The location of the artwork at the National Gallery of Art is a testament to its significance as a period item. The gallery, which opened in 1941, is home to a vast collection of American art from the colonial era to the present day. John Wilkes, the creator of this masterpiece, is an accomplished artist whose works often reflect a strong sense of Americana. His use of color and pattern in Family Record is a perfect representation of the artistic sensibilities of the time. As we gaze upon this stunning work, we are reminded of the importance of family history and the role that art plays in preserving and celebrating our heritage. Family Record is not only a beautiful piece of art but also a valuable record of a bygone era in American history.
