Salt Shaker,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating work of art by Wellington Blewett, dates back to the 1930s or 1940s, showcasing the artist's exceptional talent in the decorative arts. This exquisite piece, now held in the prestigious collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of America during the 20th century. Blewett, an accomplished artist, masterfully utilized watercolor and graphite on paper to bring this intricately designed salt shaker to life. The profile view of the shaker reveals two distinct heads, each with a unique character and expression, adding a playful and whimsical touch to this functional object. The heads, rendered in crisp white against a colorful background, create a striking contrast that draws the viewer in. The Salt Shaker, a period item from the Thirties or Forties, stands as a significant representation of the ornamental and decorative arts during this era. Its design, with its bold lines and vibrant colors, reflects the artistic trends of the time while showcasing Blewett's innovative approach to traditional tableware. This work of art, now a cherished piece in the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art, invites us to appreciate the beauty and artistry hidden within the most commonplace objects. The Salt Shaker by Wellington Blewett is a reminder of the rich artistic history of the United States and the boundless creativity of its artists.
