EDITORS COMMENTS
Redwood Burl Pulpit, c. 1936" is a captivating work of art by Lena Nastasi, showcasing her exceptional skills in wood carving and design. This masterpiece, created during the 1930s or 1940s in the United States, is a testament to the rich heritage of American decorative arts. The pulpit, made from a giant redwood burl, is an intricately hand-carved piece that exudes a warm, earthy charm. The burl, a natural growth with an irregular shape and intriguing grain, has been transformed into a functional and decorative work of art. The artist's deft touch is evident in the detailed carvings of religious symbols, including crosses and vines, that adorn the surface. The pulpit's rich, brown color is further enhanced by the use of watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite on paperboard, creating a striking contrast between the organic texture of the wood and the delicate, colorful details. The piece is a beautiful fusion of nature and religion, with the giant redwood burl representing the strength and endurance of the natural world, while the carvings symbolize the deep spiritual beliefs of the time. This Redwood Burl Pulpit is a period item that transports us back to a simpler era, where craftsmanship and attention to detail were prized above all else. It is a true treasure of American heritage art, and a reminder of the beauty and creativity that can be found in the most unexpected places, such as the humble burl of a giant redwood tree. The Redwood Burl Pulpit is an essential addition to any art centre or gallery, showcasing the best of American decorative arts from the 20th century. It is a functional work of art that would also make a stunning centrepiece in a church or religious institution, and a conversation starter in any home. This piece is not only a work of art but also a piece of history, a connection to the past, and a reminder of the beauty and wonder of the natural world.
