EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Trammel" by Wellington Blewett, dates back to the 1930s, showcasing the rich heritage of American arts during the 20th century. The decade of the 1930s, also known as the Depression Era, was a period of great innovation and creativity in the arts, and Blewett's work is a testament to the functional and decorative beauty of this time. The trammel, a traditional tool used for measuring and marking arcs and circles, is the central focus of this exquisite watercolor and graphite on paperboard artwork. The intricate metalwork mechanism of the trammel is depicted in stunning detail, with each hook and implement rendered with meticulous craftsmanship. The use of color and contrast in the watercolor adds depth and texture to the piece, while the graphite lines provide a sense of precision and definition. Blewett's "Trammel" is a significant addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts from the Colonial period to the 1940s. The artwork is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., a renowned institution dedicated to preserving and sharing the artistic heritage of the United States. As we gaze at this beautiful piece, we are transported back in time to a period of American history marked by resilience, innovation, and creativity. The trammel, a simple tool used in various trades, becomes a symbol of the ingenuity and craftsmanship that defined the 1930s and continues to inspire artists and collectors alike.
