EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning painted wooden chest or casket, created by American artist Roy Moon around 1939, showcases an exquisite blend of floral designs and vibrant colors. The multi-colored decorative motifs cover every inch of the chest's surface, creating an intricate and eye-catching pattern. The floral motifs, rendered in watercolor colored pencil and graphite on paperboard, are then skillfully transferred and meticulously painted onto the wooden chest. The chest's dark background accentuates the beauty and detail of the floral patterns, which range from delicate roses and lilies to bold poppies and sunflowers. The chest's lid features a large, central floral design, surrounded by smaller, intricately detailed patterns. The sides and base of the chest are adorned with similar floral motifs, creating a cohesive and harmonious design. This beautifully decorated chest is a prime example of the decorative arts of the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. It reflects the period's appreciation for intricate detail, vibrant colors, and the natural world. The chest would have been a cherished possession in a country home or gallery, adding a touch of elegance and heritage to its surroundings. Roy Moon's Painted Wooden Chest or Casket is now part of the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it is preserved for future generations to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of this remarkable piece.
