Jug
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art created by American artist Samuel Sulkowitz in the mid-20th century, around 1936. This stunning piece, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the rich heritage of American decorative arts during the 1930s and 1940s. Measuring approximately 11 x 9 inches, this intricately detailed scale drawing is rendered in watercolor, graphite, and colored pencil on paperboard. The image depicts a ceramic jug with a distinctive bird motif adorning its sides. The jug's body is a rich, earthy brown, contrasting beautifully with the vibrant blue hues of the bird motif. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the delicate feather patterns on the bird to the subtle textures of the jug's surface. Sulkowitz's "Jug" is not only a functional piece of art but also a work of art in its own right. The artist's mastery of various mediums is evident in the intricate detail and depth of the drawing. The jug's simple yet elegant design is a reflection of the aesthetic sensibilities of the era, with its emphasis on functional beauty and the integration of nature into everyday objects. This piece is an invaluable addition to the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art, providing a glimpse into the artistic and cultural landscape of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. Sulkowitz's "Jug" continues to inspire and captivate viewers, serving as a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place.
