EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor and graphite rendering of a Shaker Sugar Chest, created by George V. Vezolles between 1935 and 1942, showcases the timeless beauty and functional elegance of American decorative arts during the 1930s and 1940s. The Shaker community, known for their minimalist and practical design philosophy, is represented here by this iconic piece of furniture. Vezolles, an accomplished artist, masterfully captures the essence of the chest with its simple yet striking design. The brown sugar chest, with its clean lines and unadorned surface, is a testament to the Shaker belief that form follows function. The chest's sturdy construction, with its interlocking lid and dovetailed joints, speaks to the community's commitment to craftsmanship and durability. This piece, now part of the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., serves as an important reminder of the rich cultural heritage of American art and design. The watercolor and graphite medium used by Vezolles adds a delicate touch to the piece, highlighting the intricacies of the chest's design and bringing out the warmth of its natural wood tones. The Shaker Sugar Chest, with its enduring appeal and historical significance, continues to be a source of inspiration for artists, designers, and collectors alike. This beautiful work by George V. Vezolles is not only a stunning piece of art but also a valuable document of American history and design.
