Jar c. 1940

"Jar" is a simple line drawing by John Tarantino, created around 1940. The artwork depicts a ceramic jar with a floral design and inscription, likely representing a commercial product from the early 20th century. The minimalist style and focus on form are characteristic of Tarantino's work, showcasing his skill in capturing the essence of everyday objects. The inscription on the jar, "Little 12th St New York," provides a glimpse into the commercial context of the piece, perhaps referencing a specific company or location.
