EDITORS COMMENTS
Plinker and Wood Block," a captivating work of art by American artist Oscar Bluhme, dates back to the 1930s and 1940s. This exquisite watercolor, graphite, and colored pencil composition on paper with wooden mount, is a testament to the artistic ingenuity and aesthetic sensibilities of the 20th century. Bluhme's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of the wooden plinker and wood block set, which appears suspended in a serene, monochromatic background. The plinker, a simple yet functional tool used for measuring and marking distances, is depicted with a weathered, textured surface, evoking a sense of age and history. The wood block, with its geometric patterns and precise lines, adds an element of order and symmetry to the composition. The artwork's title, "Plinker and Wood Block," is a nod to the utilitarian nature of the objects, which were commonly used in various trades and crafts during the 1930s and 1940s. Bluhme's ability to transform these seemingly mundane objects into a work of art is a testament to his artistic vision and mastery of the medium. This artwork is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts and fine arts produced between 1650 and 1820 and 1876 and the present. It is currently housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world. The "Plinker and Wood Block" is a stunning example of American art from the 1930s and 1940s, showcasing the beauty and intrigue of everyday objects and the artistic vision of a masterful artist. Whether viewed as a historical artifact or a work of art in its own right, this piece is a treasure of American heritage and a must-see for anyone interested in the decorative arts or the history of American art.
