EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink on paperboard artwork by George V. Vezolles, titled "Shaker Cupboard, c. 1938," offers a captivating glimpse into the functional beauty of Shaker furniture from the 1930s and 1940s in America. The artwork depicts a brown Shaker cupboard, which could have been used as a clothes press or linen press in a Shaker home. The Shakers were known for their minimalist and practical design aesthetic, and this piece is no exception. The cupboard's simple yet elegant lines, unadorned surface, and sturdy wooden construction exude a sense of timelessness and heritage. The artwork is a testament to Vezolles' skillful rendering of the intricate details of the Shaker design, from the recessed panels and square nails to the subtle variations in color and texture. The muted brown hue of the cupboard adds to its understated elegance, making it a standout piece of decorative arts from the period. This artwork is an essential addition to any collection of American art, particularly those focused on the 20th century, the 1930s and 1940s, and the decorative arts. It is a period item that speaks to the functional design and aesthetic sensibilities of the time. The artwork is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and is an index of American design that continues to inspire and captivate art enthusiasts and collectors alike. Whether displayed in a home or art gallery, this Shaker Cupboard by George V. Vezolles is sure to be a conversation starter and a source of pride for its owner.
