Mail Box
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by American artist Marjorie Lee, created in the mid-20th century, around 1937. This evocative piece, now held in the esteemed collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases Lee's exceptional talent for capturing the essence of everyday objects and imbuing them with a sense of timeless beauty. The artwork depicts a mailbox, a common fixture of American neighborhoods during the 1930s and 1940s. The mailbox, with its rustic wooden design and red paint, stands proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery, its purpose as a symbol of communication and connection between people and places. The box's simple yet intricate details, such as the ornate scrollwork and the delicate post, are rendered with remarkable precision using watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink on paperboard. Lee's "Mail Box" is a testament to the power of art to transform the mundane into the extraordinary. This piece not only serves as a visual record of a bygone era but also as a reminder of the importance of communication and the role that simple objects like mailboxes play in our daily lives. The artwork's location in the National Gallery of Art's Index of American Design further underscores its significance as an important piece of American heritage art. The "Mail Box" by Marjorie Lee is a stunning example of decorative arts and design from the 1930s and 1940s. Its vibrant color palette, intricate details, and thoughtful composition make it a must-see for anyone interested in American art or the history of communication. This work of art continues to inspire and captivate viewers, reminding us of the beauty and importance of the seemingly ordinary objects that surround us.
