EDITORS COMMENTS
This work of art is a watercolor and graphite rendering of a Pa. German Hildebrandt Mug by Thomas Watts, created around 1939. The Hildebrandt mug is a cherished piece of American decorative arts, originating from the Pennsylvania Dutch and Pennsylvania German colonies in the United States. This specific mug showcases intricate embellishments, with a mythological scene of a merman gracefully holding a drinking vessel, surrounded by a vibrant array of colors and chipped ceramic textures. The mug's design is reminiscent of the 19th and early 20th centuries, with influences from both the 1930s and 1940s. Thomas Watts, the artist, masterfully captured the essence of this genre scene, adding a touch of whimsy and mythology to the piece. The merman, a mythical creature from water folklore, adds an element of fantasy and intrigue to the otherwise ordinary drinking vessel. This artwork is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and the enduring appeal of traditional Pennsylvania German designs. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is fortunate to have this work in its collection, showcasing the index of American Design. The mug's intricate details and captivating mythological scene make it a standout piece, not only in the National Gallery of Art but also in the broader context of American art history. This work is a reminder of the unique artistic traditions that have shaped our cultural heritage and continue to inspire artists and collectors alike.
