EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Cast Iron Jockey Hitching Post, created by the talented artist Frank Gray in 1938. The jockey, depicted in vibrant green racing silks, stands with his hand confidently placed on his hip and arm outstretched. This iconic piece of decorative art represents the spirit of American sportsmanship during the 1930s. The close-up shot highlights every intricate detail of this cast iron masterpiece. The artist's skillful use of pen and ink drawing, pencil shading, watercolor, gouache, and graphite on paperboard brings life to this timeless creation. Its vivid colors and meticulous design make it a true treasure within the National Gallery of Art in Washington. As we gaze upon this remarkable sculpture, we are transported back to an era when horse racing was at its peak in America. The jockey's posture exudes confidence and determination as he prepares for another thrilling race. This hitching post not only served as a functional object but also symbolized the rich heritage and passion for equestrian sports that prevailed throughout the country. Frank Gray's artwork beautifully captures both the essence of sportswear fashion from that time period and pays homage to these unsung heroes - sportsmen who dedicated their lives to their craft. It is through pieces like this that we can appreciate how art transcends mediums; even cast iron can convey emotion and tell stories from our nation's past.
