Drawing, Study 105, Diagram for an Entrance Doorway, General Foods Theme, March 24, 1953
This is a Drawing. It was designed by John De Cesare. It is dated March 24, 1953 and we acquired it in 1982. Its medium is graphite, red color pencil, pen and red ink on cream wove paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
This diagram specifically explains the meaning of the linear decoration for Study 104. The categories from the graphs in the Annual Report have been listed in the center of the doorway. Each category has been assigned a "theme number." For example, Theme #1 is the linear motif from the chart describing the growth of "Net Sales." Each of the decorative motifs in the General Foods drawings is based on a chosen theme.
