About This Piece

Tumbler was made for the Index of American Design, a Depression-era government project that hired artists between 1935 and 1942 to record American craft and everyday objects in careful watercolor. Charles Garjian painted this single drinking glass with remarkable precision: its faint teal tint, tiny trapped air bubbles, and soft reflections, centered on a plain beige ground. It's a quiet, almost meditative study of something most people never look at twice. The original, watercolor and graphite, is in the National Gallery of Art in Washington.

The soft beige and teal tones are minimal and calming, perfect for a kitchen, bar cart corner, dining room, or bathroom. It pairs well with natural wood, linen, and other simple object studies, and looks great in a thin oak or white frame.

About the Artist
