Silver Salt Spoon

1935/1942

Frederick Jackson

Associated Names

Frederick Jackson

Artist, American, active c. 1935

The image contains two elongated objects, one resembling a spoon and another with a more bulbous end, placed horizontally near the center. The color scheme is primarily gray on an off-white background. A third, simpler line drawing of an elongated shape is positioned below these objects in a rectangular inset. The spoon-like object is above the more bulbous-ended object, both centered within the composition. The simpler line drawing is placed directly beneath them within its own boundary.
