EDITORS COMMENTS
Anne Nemtzoff's Jug, created around 1939, is a stunning example of American ceramic art from the 1930s and 1940s. This functional object, with its elegant and intricate design, showcases Nemtzoff's mastery of slip decoration and her ability to bring a floral motif to life. The jug's front view reveals a beautiful blue slip decoration, skillfully applied in a series of delicate curves and swirls, creating a sense of movement and energy. The profile view reveals the true complexity of the design, with intricate floral motifs adorning the jug's shoulders and neck. Nemtzoff's drawing of the jug, a scale sketch in watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink, offers a closer look at the artist's meticulous process. The measurements of the jug are not recorded, but its size suggests that it was intended for personal use rather than as a decorative piece. This jug is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and design, and a reminder of the beauty and functionality of ceramics. The Jug is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Nemtzoff's work is an important contribution to the gallery's extensive collection, which spans various periods and mediums, and reflects the diverse cultural landscape of the United States.
