- Lot Description
Wharton Harris Esherick (American, 1887-1970)
Diamond Rock Hill. Signed and numbered "Wharton Harris Esherick #26/36" in pencil l.r., titled in pencil l.l., initialed in the block. Woodcut on paper, image size 8 3/4 x 6 in., framed. Condition: Small stain to lower margin, not examined out of frame.
Note: Esherick was an internationally significant figure in the landscape of art history and American modern design. As a sculptor, Esherick worked primarily in wood and extended his unique forms to furniture, furnishings, interiors, buildings, and more. His motto, ôIf it isnÆt fun, it isnÆt worth doing,ö is evident in the joyful expression of his work. Now recognized as a leader of the Studio Furniture Movement, Esherick saw himself as an artist, not a craftsman, and his concern was with form, not technique. He pursued his artistic vision in forms that might turn to furniture or other sculptural furnishings. More importantly, these were but one aspect of his art complemented by the paintings, prints, drawings, poetry, and sculpture he also created. (whartonesherickmuseum.org)Condition
