EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning pitcher, created by the talented artist Carl Strehlau in 1941. The pitcher, crafted with terracotta and adorned with slip decoration, exudes both functionality and artistic beauty. Its vibrant color palette and intricate design reflect the essence of American art during the 1930s and 1940s. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, this masterpiece is part of the Index of American Design collection. It represents a significant period in our country's heritage art, capturing the spirit of that era through its unique blend of watercolor graphite and gouache on paper. Strehlau's craftsmanship shines through every detail of this ceramic artwork. The jug's elegant curves and expertly applied slip decoration demonstrate his mastery as an artist. This piece not only serves as a functional object but also stands as a testament to Strehlau's ability to transform everyday items into works of art. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are transported back to mid-20th century America—a time when decorative arts played an essential role in shaping our cultural identity. With its rich history and undeniable aesthetic appeal, Strehlau's pitcher continues to captivate audiences today at the National Gallery of Art—an enduring symbol of American creativity and ingenuity.
