Vinegar Measure 1939

"Vinegar Measure" is a detailed pencil drawing by American artist Clarence Secor, created in 1939. The work depicts a simple wooden vessel, likely used for holding vinegar or other liquids, in a minimalist style. The artist's focus on the object's form and texture highlights the everyday beauty found in common objects. The drawing captures the intricate grain of the wood and the worn surface of the vessel, giving it a sense of history and use. Secor's precise rendering elevates the humble vinegar measure into a study of form and material, exemplifying the genre of still life.
