EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lintel, over Cemetery Gateway, 1937" by Albert Pratt takes us back to the 1930s in America. The image showcases a remarkable piece of art that adorns the entrance of a cemetery. The lintel stone above the gateway is intricately designed with religious symbols and motifs, reflecting the deep-rooted Christian culture prevalent at that time. The color palette used in this artwork adds depth and meaning to its overall concept. With watercolor colored pencil pen and ink on paper, Pratt skillfully brings out the vibrant hues that enhance our understanding of life and death within this sacred space. The presence of crosses throughout the design reminds us of Christianity's significance in American society during this period. Additionally, we notice a skull and crossbones symbol incorporated into the artwork, perhaps representing mortality or reminding viewers about life's transient nature. As an artifact from the past century, this piece holds immense historical value as it provides insight into both artistic techniques employed during that era as well as cultural influences shaping American identity. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art Washington under their Index of American Design collection, Pratt's work continues to be appreciated for its craftsmanship and ability to transport viewers through time. It serves as a testament to his talent as an artist while also preserving an important part of our heritage art for future generations to admire and learn from.
