Side Chair 1935 - 1942

"Side Chair" is a watercolor drawing created by Mattie P. Goodman, a prominent artist from the Federal Arts Project, between 1935 and 1942. The artwork portrays a simple yet elegant side chair, meticulously rendered in shades of brown and black. The chair's design, characterized by its curved legs and a contoured back, reflects the prevailing tastes of the era and hints at Goodman's expertise in furniture design. This work is a fine example of the Federal Arts Project's efforts to promote artistic talent during the Great Depression, showcasing Goodman's ability to capture the beauty of everyday objects through detailed and evocative drawings.
