EDITORS COMMENTS
This wall paper design, titled "The Cherry Boy," was created by American artist A. Zimet around 1937. The vibrant and intricately detailed work showcases a cherry tree in full bloom, its branches laden with luscious pink and white blossoms against a backdrop of multicolored foliage. The tree is the central focus of the design, with its delicate branches reaching out to frame the composition. The use of watercolor gouache and graphite on paperboard gives the wall paper a rich texture and depth, bringing the floral motif to life. The design is reminiscent of the Art Deco period, with its bold colors and geometric shapes, yet retains a sense of the natural world through its focus on the cherry tree. "The Cherry Boy" is a testament to the functional and decorative role of wall paper in American homes during the 1930s and 1940s. It reflects the trend towards multi-colored and floral motifs in interior design during this time, as well as the growing appreciation for the beauty of nature in art. This wall paper design is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts and designs from the Colonial period to the 1940s, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It is a valuable addition to the heritage of American art and design, and a reminder of the creativity and craftsmanship that went into the everyday objects and furnishings of the past.
