EDITORS COMMENTS
Stool, 1939" is a captivating work of art created by Harold Ballard, an American artist known for his exceptional hand carvings. This three-legged stool, dating back to the 1930s, showcases Ballard's mastery of woodcarving and his unique design sensibilities. The stool, which stands at three feet tall, is a testament to the functional beauty of handicrafts during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. This stunning piece, now a cherished item in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a vibrant example of the country's rich artistic heritage. The stool's simple yet elegant design is enhanced by the use of bold, green color, adding a pop of freshness to any space. The green hue, rendered in watercolour coloured pencil and graphite on paperboard, perfectly complements the organic texture of the wooden body. Ballard's "Stool, 1939" is not just a functional piece of furniture but a work of art that transcends its purpose. The intricately carved details on the wooden body reveal Ballard's dedication to his craft, with each line and curve expertly executed. The stool's three legs, each ending in a graceful curve, add a sense of stability and balance, making it a true masterpiece of the 20th century. As part of the Index of American Design, "Stool, 1939" serves as an important reminder of the artistic innovations and design trends that shaped America during the 1930s and 1940s. This three-foot wonder is a must-see for anyone interested in American art, design, and the history of handicrafts.
