Counterbalance Rooster
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by American artist James Vail, created in the mid-20th century, around 1936. This stunning watercolor and graphite on paper rendering with wooden mount showcases a rooster in a moment of balanced poise, exuding an air of quiet strength and vitality. The rooster, with its vibrant, intricately detailed plumage, stands against a plain background, allowing the viewer to fully appreciate the beauty and artistry of the bird's form. James Vail's "Counterbalance Rooster" is a testament to the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of his subject. The rooster's regal posture and piercing gaze convey a sense of pride and dominance, while the intricate details of its feathers and wattles reveal a deep appreciation for the natural world. The use of watercolor and graphite on paper adds a sense of depth and texture to the artwork, making the rooster seem almost lifelike. This beautiful piece is a prime example of functional art from the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. It is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts from the Colonial period to the 1940s, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The "Counterbalance Rooster" is a cherished addition to the gallery's collection, reflecting the rich artistic heritage of the United States during this period. Whether admired for its intricate details, its vibrant color palette, or its evocative portrayal of a rooster in its prime, James Vail's "Counterbalance Rooster" is a work of art that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
