This print titled "Figurehead, c. 1939" by Jane Iverson takes us back to the vibrant era of 1930s America. The artwork, part of the Index of American Design collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, showcases Iverson's exceptional talent and attention to detail. The figurehead depicted in this piece is a true testament to the rich maritime heritage that shaped the country's history. Standing proudly on the bow of a ship, it exudes strength and elegance with its intricate design and craftsmanship. Iverson masterfully captures every aspect of this magnificent artifact using watercolor graphite and colored pencil on paperboard. The blue hues symbolize the vastness of water surrounding America while contrasting red accents add a touch of drama and intensity. A man dressed in a coat stands beside the figurehead, providing scale and emphasizing its grandeur. His presence highlights not only his admiration for this work but also represents countless individuals who have been captivated by these majestic sculptures throughout history. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time - envisioning an era when ships were lifelines connecting people across vast distances. It serves as a reminder of our nation's deep-rooted connection to transportation and how it has shaped our culture over centuries. Jane Iverson's "Figurehead" invites us to appreciate both artistry and historical significance; it immortalizes an important part of American heritage that continues to inspire awe today.
