Sugar Scoop, c. 1941 - A Glimpse into Functional Art of Mid-20th Century America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and functional design of a sugar scoop created by Lelah Nelson in the early 1940s. As an artist known for her attention to detail and ability to transform everyday objects into works of art, Nelson's Sugar Scoop epitomizes the ingenuity and creativity that defined this era. The sugar scoop, rendered in watercolor and graphite on paperboard, is a testament to both form and function. Its smooth wooden handle fits perfectly within one's grasp while its elegantly curved metal bowl effortlessly scoops up granulated sweetness. The vibrant color palette chosen by Nelson adds a touch of whimsy to this otherwise utilitarian object. Nelson's creation not only serves as a practical kitchen utensil but also reflects the spirit of American design during the thirties and forties. This piece embodies an era when functionality merged seamlessly with aesthetic appeal, transforming even mundane household items into artistic expressions. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this heritage art piece offers viewers a glimpse into mid-20th century American culture through its meticulous details and timeless charm. It symbolizes an age where artists like Lelah Nelson celebrated everyday objects, elevating them from mere tools to cherished artifacts that embody both beauty and utility. As we admire Sugar Scoop today, we are reminded of how art can be found not only on
