EDITORS COMMENTS
Emilio Zito's captivating artwork, titled "House Looking Glass," transports us back in time to the charming 1930s and 1940s in America. This exquisite hand-carved wooden print, created by Zito around 1940, showcases a quaint, multi-colored house with a decorative mirror frame. The intricate carving and detailed depiction of the house's facade, complete with gabled roof, shuttered windows, and ornate woodwork, evoke a sense of nostalgia and warmth. Zito's mastery of various artistic mediums is evident in this striking piece, which was created using watercolor gouache, colored pencil, and graphite on paperboard. The vibrant colors and fine lines bring the house to life, while the mirror's reflective surface adds an element of mystery and depth. This genre scene is a testament to the rich heritage of American decorative arts during the 20th century. The index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., recognizes Zito's work as an important contribution to the period, showcasing his unique blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern artistic expression. The House Looking Glass is not only a beautiful piece of art but also a snapshot of a bygone era, inviting us to imagine the stories and memories that unfolded within its walls. This timeless work of art, with its intricate woodcarving and multicolored design, continues to captivate and inspire viewers, making it a cherished addition to any art collection.
