EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning pottery jug, created by Gerald Scalise in the 1940s, is a beautiful example of American decorative arts from the mid-20th century. The jug, which is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases Scalise's exceptional skill as a ceramist and his keen eye for design. Scalise, who was born in the United States in the 1900s, was known for his functional and decorative pottery, which often featured bold colors and intricate designs. This particular jug, with its earthy brown hues and geometric patterns, is a testament to Scalise's ability to create timeless pieces that blend form and function. The jug, which is dated to the 1930s or 1940s, is a period item that offers a glimpse into the aesthetic sensibilities of the time. It is also a valuable addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts from the colonial period to the 1940s. The jug was created using watercolor and colored pencil on paperboard, and its intricate design is brought to life through Scalise's masterful use of color and texture. The jug's shape is reminiscent of traditional American pottery, but its modernist design elements make it a unique and contemporary piece. Whether displayed in a modern art gallery or a traditional art center, this pottery jug by Gerald Scalise is sure to captivate and inspire viewers with its beauty and historical significance. It is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States and a reminder of the enduring appeal of functional and decorative arts.
