EDITORS COMMENTS
John Collins' Over Mantel Picture, created in 1939, is a captivating work of art that transports us to a simpler time in American history. This watercolor, graphite, and gouache on paperboard painting depicts a rustic rural scene set indoors, with a flower bed overflowing with multi-colored blooms framing a country scene outside a window. The over mantel picture is a charming example of the regionalism genre, which gained popularity during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. Collins masterfully captures the essence of rural life in America during this era, with the warm colors and intricate details of the flower bed and the idyllic countryside scene beyond. The functional yet decorative piece would have been a cherished addition to any home during this time, adding a touch of natural beauty and charm to the interior. This work of art is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and the index of American design. It is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of Americans during the thirties and forties, a time of hardship and resilience. The Over Mantel Picture is now a prized possession in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. Collins' use of color and his ability to capture the essence of rural life make this piece a standout in the realm of decorative arts and interior design. Whether hanging above a mantel or displayed in an art gallery, this work of art is a reminder of the beauty and simplicity of rural America during the 20th century.
