EDITORS COMMENTS
Gilded Weathercock" by Laura Bilodeau, dates back to the 1940s and offers a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of America during the 20th century. The image depicts a proud and ornate rooster, perched atop a weathered post, its golden feathers gleaming in the soft light. The intricate details of the rooster's plumage are rendered in exquisite detail through the use of watercolor, graphite, and colored pencil on paperboard. The weathercock, a traditional ornamental weather vane, is a common sight in rural areas and was once a practical tool for determining wind direction. In this artwork, Bilodeau elevates the humble weathercock to a work of art, imbuing it with a sense of grandeur and elegance. The use of gilding adds to the piece's opulence, reflecting the ornate design sensibilities of the 1930s and 1940s. This charming piece is a testament to the artistic talent and creativity that flourished in the United States during the 20th century. It is a reminder of a bygone era, a time when art was a cherished part of everyday life and was celebrated for its beauty and craftsmanship. The "Gilded Weathercock" is a treasure of American art history and a must-see for anyone interested in the decorative arts, the history of design, or the rich cultural heritage of the United States."
