EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hat box, created by American artist Gerald Scalise in the 1930s or 1940s, is a prime example of functional art from the 20th century. The intricately designed box, titled "Hat Box - Wood, c. 1940," showcases the artist's exceptional skill in blending materials and techniques. The exterior of the box is made of rich, dark wood, with metal accents adding a touch of elegance and durability. The wood and metal are expertly crafted, creating a seamless and cohesive design. Scalise's use of watercolor and graphite on paperboard adds depth and dimension to the box's surface, making it a visual feast for the eyes. The box's primary function was to protect and store hats, but its design elevates it to the realm of art. The box's period style makes it a valuable addition to any collection of decorative arts or vintage furniture. This piece is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of American artists during the 1930s and 1940s. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this piece in its collection, which is a significant contribution to the Index of American Design. The Gallery's visitors can appreciate the box's beauty and craftsmanship up close, and it serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating America's artistic heritage. Whether displayed as a functional piece or an art object, the "Hat Box - Wood, c. 1940" by Gerald Scalise is a captivating and timeless piece that continues to inspire and delight.
