Tumbler, 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning work of art by American artist Ralph Atkinson, showcasing his exceptional skill in watercolour, graphite pen, and ink techniques on paperboard. This exquisite piece, created during the 1930s, is a testament to Atkinson's mastery of both form and colour. The tumbler, a quintessential item of tableware, is depicted in this artwork with an intricate and ornate design. The gilded edges add a touch of elegance and luxury, while the blue and golden hues evoke a sense of timeless beauty. The use of gilt, a technique involving the application of gold leaf or gold paint, adds an extra layer of richness to the piece. Atkinson's attention to detail is evident in the intricate floral design adorning the tumbler. The delicate petals and leaves are rendered with precision and care, creating a sense of movement and life. The contrast between the bold, geometric lines of the tumbler's body and the organic, flowing forms of the floral design adds visual interest and balance to the composition. This artwork, a product of the 1930s and 1940s, is a prime example of the decorative arts movement in America during this period. The Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts, has documented this work as part of the country's rich artistic heritage. Today, "Tumbler, 1937" can be found in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences. The artwork serves as a reminder of the beauty and craftsmanship that can be found in even the most ordinary objects, and the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place.
