EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Rush Bottom Chair, created by American artist Dana Bartlett around 1937, is a captivating example of the decorative arts from the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The chair, now a period piece, showcases Bartlett's exceptional woodcarving skills, with intricate brown inlaid designs adorning the hand-carved wooden frame. The chair's seat is a masterful blend of traditional woven rush bottom and upholstered fabric, adding both texture and comfort. Bartlett's Rush Bottom Chair is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during this era. The chair's design is a harmonious fusion of traditional and modern elements, reflecting the country's evolving aesthetic sensibilities. The use of watercolour gouache, coloured pencil, and graphite on paper to depict the chair in this photograph further highlights the artist's attention to detail and commitment to capturing the essence of his work. The Rush Bottom Chair is a standout piece in any art centre or gallery, showcasing the beauty and craftsmanship of handicraft and wood carving during the 1930s and 1940s. Its presence in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is a testament to its enduring value and importance in the world of decorative arts and furniture design. This chair, with its unique blend of colour, form, and function, continues to inspire and captivate viewers, making it a cherished addition to the heritage of American art.
