EDITORS COMMENTS
John Collins' Over Mantel Picture, created in 1939, is a charming and evocative depiction of rural American life during the 1930s and 1940s. This watercolor, graphite, and gouache on paperboard work showcases a rustic scene of a flower bed against a country backdrop. The multi-colored and multicolored blooms spill out of the frame, their vibrant hues contrasting beautifully with the muted tones of the surrounding countryside. The genre scene, reminiscent of the Regionalism movement, captures the essence of the period with its functional and decorative elements. The over mantel picture is a common interior decoration feature in American homes, and this painting would have been a cherished addition to any household during this era. The artist, John Collins, masterfully captures the allure of the countryside, inviting viewers to imagine the simple pleasures of rural life. The location, likely a plantation or farm, is depicted with a sense of warmth and nostalgia, making it an ideal addition to any home's interior. This work is an essential piece of American art history, and its inclusion in the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., attests to its significance. The Over Mantel Picture is a testament to the beauty and charm of rural America during the 20th century, and it continues to captivate audiences today with its timeless appeal.
