EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink rendering on paperboard by American artist Roy Weber, titled "Toaster," dates back to the 1930s and offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of American decorative arts during the 20th century. The three-legged toaster, depicted in this artwork, is a quintessential representation of functional design from the 1930s and 1940s. The toaster's sleek, minimalist form and elegant handle exude a sense of craftsmanship that was valued during this period. The Toaster artwork is an intriguing combination of color and line, with the warm hues of the toaster's body contrasting beautifully against the cool, crisp lines of the three legs and the handle. This piece is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of an everyday object and elevate it to the realm of art. Roy Weber's Toaster artwork is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive documentation of American-made decorative arts, which was initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s. This artwork can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. The Toaster artwork is not only a beautiful and intriguing piece of art, but it also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of American design and the importance of preserving and celebrating the objects that have shaped our daily lives.
