Side Chair 1950

Louie H. Ewing's "Side Chair" (1950) depicts a simple wooden chair rendered in a realistic style with meticulous attention to detail. The worn and weathered appearance of the chair, with its chipped paint and patched seat, suggests a long and well-used history, highlighting the enduring presence of everyday objects. The artwork's minimalist composition and focus on the chair's form are characteristic of Ewing's style, which often explores the beauty found in the ordinary. The realistic representation of the chair and its subtle imperfections evoke a sense of nostalgia and the passage of time.
