EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by American artist Ralph Atkinson, showcasing his exceptional skill in the decorative arts, particularly in the realm of glass design. This stunning watercolor, graphite, and gouache rendering on paper, created during the 1930s, transports us back in time to the vibrant and innovative decade that preceded the 1940s. The image features a single tumbler, its elegant form captured in intricate detail. The tumbler, adorned with a rich, ruby red hue, is reminiscent of the exquisite ruby glassware produced during this period. Atkinson's masterful use of color and shading imbues the tumbler with a sense of depth and texture, as if we can almost feel the cool, smooth surface beneath our fingertips. This artwork is a testament to the artistic and design sensibilities of the time, showcasing the unique blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern aesthetics that characterized the American art scene during the 1930s and 1940s. The tumbler, with its simple yet striking design, would have been right at home in any contemporary art center or gallery, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to any decor. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is fortunate to have this piece as part of its extensive collection, a testament to the enduring legacy of Ralph Atkinson and the Index of American Design. This image serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States and the beauty and innovation that can be found in even the most seemingly ordinary objects, such as a simple tumbler. Whether viewed as a standalone work of art or as a representation of the broader cultural context of the time, "Tumbler, c. 1936" is a captivating and timeless piece that continues to inspire and delight.
