Chair
c. 1937
Although the artist is listed as Frederick Jackson, a close look at the bottom right reveals the signature 'Frederick Jackson Conant,' a noted architect and designer. This 1937 drawing presents a sturdy ladder-back armchair with a woven seat, rendered with such precision it looks like a blueprint for comfort. A curious diagram in the top right corner—resembling a light switch plate—hints that this chair was part of a larger interior scheme. It’s a lovely example of Depression-era design, focusing on honest materials and simple forms.
