Secretary, c. 1938 Creator: Ernest Busenbark (1895-1984) Description: This stunning artwork, created by American artist Ernest Busenbark in the late 1930s, captures the essence of decorative arts during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The piece, titled "Secretary," is a watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite drawing on paperboard, meticulously detailed and heightened with additional pigment. The subject of the artwork is a secretary desk, a popular piece of furniture during this period. The secretary, also known as an escritoire or inlaid bureau, is a versatile piece that combines a writing surface with storage space, making it an essential item for both home and office use. Busenbark's rendition of the secretary is embellished with intricate floral designs, showcasing the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the delicacy and beauty of nature. The secretary desk in this artwork is depicted in a rich, warm color palette, reflecting the heritage art movement that emphasized the value of American art and craftsmanship. The use of watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite adds depth and texture, bringing the piece to life. This artwork is a testament to the period's design trends, which favored inlaid and inlay work, as well as the use of wood as a primary material. The secretary desk in the artwork is made of wood, with intricate inlay designs adding an extra layer of visual interest. The "Secretary, c. 1938" artwork is a significant addition to any art collection, particularly those focusing on decorative arts, design, and American art from the 1930s and 1940s. It can be displayed in an art centre, art gallery, or museum, adding a touch of elegance and historical significance to any space.
