EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pewter chalice, created by American artist Arthur Stewart around 1940, is a stunning example of mid-20th century design. The chalice, which resembles a goblet with a wide, flared base and a narrow, tapering body, is adorned with intricate graphite on paper designs that add an elegant and artistic touch to this functional object. Pewter, a traditional metal used for tableware and decorative items in the United States since the colonial era, was a popular choice for artists and craftsmen during the 1940s due to its malleability and timeless appeal. This chalice, now a cherished artifact, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of American art and design during the 1940s. It is a period piece that speaks to the aesthetic sensibilities of the time, with its modernist design sensibilities and traditional materials. The chalice is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it is a beloved addition to the Index of American Design collection. The National Gallery of Art, a renowned institution dedicated to the visual arts, is home to an extensive collection of American art spanning several centuries. This chalice, with its unique combination of artistry, craftsmanship, and historical significance, is a standout piece in the collection. Whether admired for its aesthetic beauty or its historical importance, this pewter chalice by Arthur Stewart is a must-see for anyone interested in American art and design of the 20th century.
