Drawing, Interior

This is a Drawing. It was designed by Mathieu Matégot. It is dated ca. 1950. Its medium is gouache, ink, collage on paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.

This drawing is a spectacular evocation of Matégot’s design approach. The colorful, yet sophisticated palette and the slender, low-slung furnishings tie the drawing directly to Matégot’s Japanese- and Scandinavian-inspired designs for chairs, tables, and cabinets.

This object was donated by George R. Kravis II. It is credited Gift of George R. Kravis II.

Interior of a seafoam green train car, with the perspective as if you are sitting in a seat and looking back over your shoulder to rows behind you. On the right are four rows of plush yellow seats with green piping lining the top. The sides are rounded rectangles, chrome, and have three horizontal lines running across them. A yellow armrest sits on top. The support for the chair is below the chrome sides and flares outwards into an oval shape as it gets closer to the ground. The row furthest back does not have these chrome sides. Next to each yellow seat is a window with a green and black plaid curtain. Each curtain is raised high to show a black outside. There are chrome details around the car. On the left, just the corner of two rows of yellow chairs is shown. The floor is brown, and perhaps wood. There is a painted rectangle around the traincar, much like a frame, that is the color of cherry wood.
