EDITORS COMMENTS
This platter, created by American artist Paul Ward in 1938, transports us back to the politically charged atmosphere of the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The vibrant watercolor and graphite design on paperboard showcases an intricate pattern of geometric shapes and bold, decorative lettering. The platter's central image is a portrait of an unidentified statesman, his stern expression and formal attire evoking the seriousness and importance of the political sphere during this period. The platter's creation occurred during a time of significant social and political change in the United States. The Great Depression had left its mark on the country, and the looming threat of World War II cast a shadow over the future. Yet, amidst the uncertainty and turmoil, artists continued to create works that reflected the cultural heritage and values of their time. This platter, with its intricate design and thoughtful dedication, serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 20th century. It is a testament to the power of art to capture the essence of a moment in history and preserve it for future generations. Today, this Paul Ward platter is a cherished item in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It is a fitting addition to the gallery's Index of American Design, which seeks to document and preserve the decorative arts of the United States from the colonial period to the present day.
