EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor graphite and colored pencil rendering on paper by George V. Vezolles captures the essence of Americana with its depiction of a Shaker Wood Box and Kindling Box from the 1930s. The image transports us back in time to a simpler era, where functional objects were works of art in their own right. The Shaker Wood Box, with its clean lines and understated elegance, is a testament to the Shaker community's commitment to practicality and beauty. Its brown wooden surface, worn smooth by years of use, speaks of the countless hands that have touched it and the stories it could tell. The Kindling Box, nestled beside it, is a perfect complement to the larger box, its smaller size and intricate design making it an essential companion for keeping kindling close at hand. George Vezolles, an American artist, expertly captures the essence of these period items with his skillful use of color and shading. The muted tones and attention to detail bring the boxes to life, making us feel as if we can reach out and touch the rough wood grain. This artwork is not only a beautiful addition to any home or gallery, but also a reminder of the rich heritage of American decorative arts and design. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is the current home of this exquisite piece, which is part of the Index of American Design. The Index is a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts and is an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike. This Vezolles artwork, along with the other items in the collection, provides a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the beauty and functionality of American-made objects from the 17th through the mid-20th centuries.
