EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph showcases the exquisite Hitchcock Armchair, designed by Danish-American artist Therkel Anderson in 1937. The armchair, a masterpiece of the Decorative Arts movement during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States, is a testament to Anderson's exceptional craftsmanship and artistic vision. The Hitchcock Armchair is a beautiful fusion of traditional and modern design elements. The chair's frame is made of carved wood, showcasing intricate patterns and geometric shapes, while the seat is upholstered in a rich, green color, adding a touch of vibrancy and comfort. The chair's backrest is adorned with a peach-colored watercolor, coloured pencil, graphite, and some heightening on paper, creating a striking contrast against the dark wood. The armchair's design is further enhanced by its woven rush bottom and the use of upholstery on the seat and backrest. The chair's overall appearance is a harmonious blend of the organic and the geometric, the natural and the man-made. The Hitchcock Armchair is a cherished item of American heritage art and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of furniture design. This photograph, taken at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., captures the essence of this iconic piece, inviting us to appreciate its beauty and craftsmanship up close. Anderson's Hitchcock Armchair is a prime example of the artistic and design innovations that emerged during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. Its timeless design continues to inspire and captivate audiences, making it a true treasure of American decorative arts.
