Brackets c. 1937

"Brackets" is a watercolor on paper by American artist Dana Bartlett, circa 1937. The artwork is a design for a set of four door or window brackets, each with intricate details. Bartlett was known for his work in decorative arts, and this piece is a fine example of his skills in creating both functional and aesthetically pleasing designs. The work incorporates floral motifs and other decorative elements to elevate the simple bracket to a work of art. The detailed design and skilled execution of the watercolor on paper make this a great example of design art in the early 20th century.
