EDITORS COMMENTS
Edward Unger's captivating artwork, titled "Saw," transports us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s in America. This exquisite watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink rendering on paperboard, created by Unger in 1938, showcases the functional beauty of a hand tool that was once an essential part of everyday life. The intricately detailed saw is depicted in all its glory, with its wooden handle worn smooth from years of use and its sharp metal teeth gleaming in the light. The artist's masterful use of color and contrast highlights the textures and forms of the materials, bringing the object to life on the page. Unger's composition is not only a testament to the aesthetic appeal of the saw, but also a reflection of the heritage and history of American craftsmanship. The image is a period piece, evoking the spirit of the thirties and forties, a time when such tools were commonplace in homes and workplaces across the country. This artwork is a treasure from the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., part of the Index of American Design. The collection, which includes over 18,000 drawings, watercolors, and photographs, documents the decorative arts and design history of the United States from the Colonial period to the 1940s. Unger's "Saw" is a valuable addition to this important archive, a reminder of the functional art and design that shaped our American heritage.
