Jar - For Salt, Meat, or Lard
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art created by American artist Margaret Gordon in approximately 1939. This exquisite piece, which showcases Gordon's exceptional skill in the decorative arts, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. The artwork is a watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink drawing on paperboard, and it depicts a beautifully designed ceramic jar. The jar's simple yet elegant form is adorned with intricate geometric patterns and vibrant green color, evoking a sense of both tradition and modernity. The title of the piece, "For Salt, Meat, or Lard," suggests that this container was intended for practical use in the home. The jar's shape and design are reminiscent of the ceramics produced during the 19th century, yet its use of contemporary color and graphic elements places it firmly in the 20th century. This juxtaposition reflects the artist's ability to bridge the past and present, making this piece an intriguing addition to any collection of American art. Margaret Gordon's "Jar: For Salt, Meat, or Lard" is a standout piece in the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It is a testament to the importance of functional art in American culture and a reminder of the beauty and creativity that can be found in the everyday objects that surround us. Whether displayed in a gallery or in a home, this artwork is sure to inspire and delight.
