EDITORS COMMENTS
Mail Box" is a captivating work of art created by American artist Marjorie Lee in approximately 1937. This exquisite piece, now housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of a seemingly mundane object - the mailbox. Lee masterfully captures the essence of communication and connection through this charming watercolor and graphite on paper and wood composition. The mailbox, standing tall and proud against a backdrop of lush greenery, is depicted in stunning detail. Its wooden structure, weathered by time, exudes a sense of history and tradition. The red pillar box, nestled within the mailbox, adds a pop of color against the muted tones of the surrounding landscape. This artwork transports us back to a simpler time, evoking the spirit of the 1930s and 1940s in America. The mailbox, once an essential part of daily life, symbolized the link between individuals and the outside world. In Lee's "Mail Box," the mailbox becomes more than just a functional object; it becomes a work of art that tells a story of connection, communication, and heritage. As part of the Index of American Design, this piece is an invaluable addition to the decorative arts and design collection at the National Gallery of Art. It serves as a reminder of the rich artistic and cultural history of the United States and the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places.
