Ice Cream Mold c. 1941

Chris Makrenos's "Ice Cream Mold" (c. 1941) is a detailed watercolor drawing of a two-part metal mold shaped like a seashell, designed for creating individual servings of ice cream. The mold's intricate details, rendered with precision, highlight the artistry involved in everyday objects. The drawing's focus on a simple kitchen utensil exemplifies Makrenos's interest in capturing the beauty of the mundane, a recurring theme in his work. This piece offers a glimpse into the world of vintage kitchenware and its design aesthetics.
