Pa. German Box, c. 1937 - A Delicate Blend of Colonial Heritage and Artistic Expression
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Pa. German Box, created in 1937 by the talented artist Frances Lichten. Steeped in history and cultural significance, this wooden box represents the fusion of American colonialism with traditional German design. The rich dark wood serves as a canvas for Lichten's intricate decorative arts, featuring an array of vibrant flowers meticulously painted with watercolor gouache and graphite on paperboard. The tulips take center stage, their colorful petals delicately capturing nature's beauty. Every detail is thoughtfully considered - from the carefully carved latch to the bulbous shape that mimics a blooming tulip itself. This homeware piece not only adds charm to any space but also pays homage to Pennsylvania's heritage art. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this artwork exemplifies Lichten's mastery in combining functionality with artistic expression. Its presence transports viewers back to America in the 1930s when creativity flourished amidst challenging times. As we admire this remarkable creation through our own lens today, let us appreciate how it encapsulates both tradition and innovation within its borders. It reminds us that even everyday objects can be transformed into works of art that transcend time and connect us to our roots as well as inspire future generations.
