Sugar Bowl c. 1936

Joseph Sudek's "Sugar Bowl" from c. 1936 is a detailed drawing of a ceramic sugar bowl. Depicted in a simple, almost technical style, the piece is presented against a blank background to highlight its form and the intricate design of the handle and lid. This drawing is likely a preparatory sketch for a larger work or a design for a specific piece of ceramic ware. The blue and gold accents of the sugar bowl suggest the delicate and intricate details of the original object, capturing the essence of this common household item in a minimalist yet detailed manner.
