EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Pa. German Cupboard, created by American artist Edgar L. Pearce in the 1930s, is a beautiful example of the decorative arts of the Pennsylvania Dutch and Pennsylvania German communities in the United States during the 20th century. The cupboard, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a period item that transports us back in time to the thirties and forties. Pearce expertly captured the intricate details and embellishments of this traditional piece of furniture in his watercolor and graphite on paper rendering. The cupboard's light brown and red hues, reminiscent of the earthy tones found in rural Pennsylvania, add to its authenticity and charm. The hinges and other hardware are depicted with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. The Pa. German Cupboard, with its elaborate designs and colorful decorations, is a testament to the rich heritage of the Pennsylvania Colony and its unique cultural traditions. Pearce's artwork provides us with a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and history of this important period in American art and design. This piece, now part of the Index of American Design collection at the National Gallery of Art, is a must-see for anyone interested in American art, decorative arts, or the history of Pennsylvania Dutch and Pennsylvania German communities. The cupboard's timeless design continues to captivate and inspire, making it a cherished addition to the gallery's holdings.
