Coffee Grinder, 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by American artist Dayton Brown. This exquisite piece, created during the 1930s or 1940s, is a testament to Brown's exceptional talent in capturing the essence of functional objects through art. The subject of this watercolor pen and ink and graphite on paper rendering is a wooden coffee grinder, a common household item from the past. The coffee grinder, with its hand-cranked design, is a period piece that evokes memories of a simpler time. The intricate details of the wooden utensil are brought to life through Brown's masterful use of color and shading. The coffee grinder's worn surface, with its grooves and ridges, is rendered with such depth and texture that one can almost feel the roughness of the wood. This artwork is not only a decorative piece but also a significant contribution to the field of decorative arts and design. It is a prime example of the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s and 1940s, which aimed to document and preserve American folk art and crafts. Brown's "Coffee Grinder, 1937" is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., USA. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of America and the importance of preserving and celebrating the beauty and functionality of everyday objects. Whether admired for its artistic merit or its historical significance, this work is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for American art and design.
