EDITORS COMMENTS
Frank Wenger's drawing of a stool from the 1930s is a testament to the artist's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of everyday objects. Created in pen and ink and graphite on paper, this study of a simple wooden stool is a fascinating glimpse into the decorative arts of the 20th century. The stool, dated around 1937, is a window seat design, suggesting that it was intended for use in a domestic setting. Its measurements are not provided in the artist's notes, but the meticulous rendering of its curves and angles indicates a dedication to accuracy and precision. Wenger's drawing is a period item, reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities of the 1930s and 1940s in America. The use of pen and ink and graphite on paper was a popular medium for artists during this time, allowing for intricate line work and subtle shading. The stool's design is both functional and decorative, with its curved seat and tapered legs adding an elegant touch to any room. Wenger's study of the stool is a reminder of the importance of paying attention to the small details in our everyday surroundings. This drawing by Frank Wenger is part of the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s and 1940s. The Index aimed to document American decorative arts and crafts through drawings, photographs, and written descriptions. Wenger's stool drawing is now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world.
