Writing Desk, Lap, c. 1941 - A Functional Piece of Art
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a remarkable piece of functional art from the early 1940s in America. Created by the talented artist Mattie P. Goodman, this exquisite writing desk captures the essence of both design and practicality. The wooden lap desk is beautifully crafted with intricate details that reflect the artistic sensibilities of its time. Its rich brown color adds warmth and elegance to any space it graces. The desk's portable nature makes it an ideal companion for writers or scholars on-the-go during that era. Goodman's expertise shines through as she skillfully combines watercolor, colored pencil, graphite, and heightening techniques on paper to bring this unique piece to life. Her attention to detail is evident in every stroke and shading. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this index of American design serves as a testament to our country's heritage in decorative arts. It represents an era when functionality met creativity seamlessly. Whether used for penning letters or jotting down thoughts, this writing desk evokes nostalgia for a simpler time while reminding us of the importance of blending beauty with utility in everyday objects. Mattie P. Goodman's "Writing Desk, Lap" transports us back to mid-20th century America – a period defined by innovation and craftsmanship – where even seemingly mundane items were transformed into works of art worthy of admiration and preservation.
