EDITORS COMMENTS
This work of art, titled "Trivet" by American artist Ardella Watkins, dates back to the 1940s. The image, created using watercolor and graphite on paperboard, showcases the artist's exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The trivet, a functional kitchen item designed to protect countertops from hot pots and pans, is depicted in vibrant colors and intricate detail, making it a decorative piece as well as a practical one. The trivet is a testament to the rich heritage of American arts and crafts, particularly during the 1930s and 1940s when functional objects were often elevated to the level of art. This period, also known as the American Craft Movement, emphasized the importance of individual expression and the beauty of handmade items. Ardella Watkins' "Trivet" is a prime example of this movement, with its unique design and meticulous execution. The metalwork is depicted with such precision that one can almost feel the texture of the metal under the artist's skilled hand. The colors used add a pop of charm and character to the piece, making it a standout addition to any art collection or kitchen display. This work of art is a valuable addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts from the Colonial period to the present day. It is currently housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
