Chair c. 1937

"Chair" is a watercolor painting on paper by American artist John Sullivan, created around 1937. This realistic depiction of a simple wooden chair with a woven rush seat is a study in form and composition. The chair's dark wooden structure contrasts with the light-toned, woven rush seat, and its stylized form suggests a minimalist yet elegant design. Sullivan's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the chair's intricate carvings and textures.
