Hitching Post, c. 1937 - A Glimpse into America's Equestrian Heritage
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry of David Ramage. Titled "Hitching Post" this artwork takes us back to the vibrant era of 1930s America. In this scene, we see a man standing proudly next to an equestrian statue mounted on a sturdy plinth. The statue itself is a testament to American folk art, with its intricate design and attention to detail. The artist's use of watercolor gouache and graphite on paperboard brings out the rich colors and textures that make this piece come alive. The man depicted exudes an air of elegance with his striped shirt, brown trousers, and stylish waistcoat complete with cravat – all typical attire for men during that period. His hat adds a touch of sophistication while his shoes reflect practicality. Set against a backdrop of lush greenery, this artwork transports us to a bygone era when hitching posts were essential fixtures in rural communities across the United States. These posts served as gathering spots for locals traveling on horseback or in carriages - places where stories were shared and connections made. As we admire "Hitching Post" let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its ability to evoke nostalgia for simpler times filled with country charm and equestrian traditions. This remarkable artifact from the National Gallery of Art Washington allows us
