EDITORS COMMENTS
Frank Wenger's Stool, created around 1937, is a stunning example of American decorative arts from the 1930s and 1940s. This handcrafted stool, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases Wenger's masterful wood carving skills. The brown, hand-carved stool features intricate geometric patterns and delicate floral designs, showcasing the artist's attention to detail and artistic vision. The stool's seat is upholstered with a colorful watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite on paperboard design, adding an unexpected pop of color and texture to the otherwise wooden piece. The combination of the hand-carved wood and upholstered seat makes this functional object not only a work of art but also a testament to the rich heritage of American craftsmanship during the 20th century. Wenger's Stool is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts from the Colonial period to the 1940s. This period item, with its unique blend of functional design and artistic expression, continues to inspire and captivate viewers at the National Gallery of Art and beyond. Whether displayed in a modern art center or a traditional art gallery, Wenger's Stool is a timeless piece that transcends its original context and continues to be relevant in today's decorative arts landscape.
