EDITORS COMMENTS
John Wilkes' captivating artwork, titled "Mold, 1937," showcases the intricate beauty of a carved wooden butter mold from the 1930s. The American artist, known for his contributions to decorative arts and designs, masterfully captured the details of this functional kitchen item in this watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink drawing on paperboard. The mold, adorned with a floral motif, features a delicate rose and thistle design, reflecting the natural beauty of the period. The thirties and forties were a time of innovation and creativity in American art, and Wilkes' work exemplifies the unique blend of functional and artistic elements that characterized the era. The mold's shape, with its rounded edges and intricate carvings, is brought to life through Wilkes' skillful use of color and line. The roses and thistles, rendered in vibrant hues, stand out against the muted background, drawing the viewer's eye to the intricacies of the design. This artwork is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and the importance of preserving the past. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., which holds this piece in its collection, is a fitting home for this index of American design. The mold, once used in the preparation of butter in a rural American kitchen, has been transformed into a work of art that continues to inspire and delight. Wilkes' "Mold, 1937" is a reminder of the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places and the enduring power of art to capture the essence of a time and place.
