EDITORS COMMENTS
Tulip and Sunflower Chest, 1936" is a captivating work of art by American artist Harold Merriam. This exquisite watercolor, pen and ink, and graphite on paper piece showcases Merriam's exceptional talent for blending nature and functional design. The image depicts a beautifully decorated chest, adorned with intricate tulips and sunflowers. The vibrant tulips, with their bold colors and delicate petals, are arranged in a dynamic, almost abstract pattern, creating a striking contrast against the more structured sunflowers. Merriam's use of color in this piece is truly noteworthy. The rich, earthy tones of the chest's woodgrain are complemented by the bright, saturated hues of the flowers, adding depth and dimension to the artwork. The brown chest, with its raised panels and ornate details, appears as if it could have been plucked straight from a traditional American country home in the 1930s or 1940s. The artist's note accompanying this work reveals that the chest was inspired by the natural beauty of flowers in bloom. Merriam's attention to detail is evident in the way the petals of the tulips and sunflowers are rendered, each one unique and lifelike. The chest's drawers, too, are depicted with care, their handles and latches adding functional elements to the otherwise decorative piece. This artwork, a testament to Merriam's artistic prowess, is a must-see for anyone interested in the Index of American Design, decorative arts, or the heritage of American art. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is proud to house "Tulip and Sunflower Chest, 1936" in its vast collection, allowing future generations to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of this remarkable work.
