EDITORS COMMENTS
Frank C. Barks' captivating watercolour, pen and ink, and graphite on paper artwork titled "Saddle," created circa 1937, offers a glimpse into the American West during the 1930s and 1940s. The meticulously detailed illustration showcases a wooden pack saddle, adorned with intricate designs and patterns, resting on a wooden stand. The saddle, a period item from the United States, is a testament to the craftsmanship and functionality of rural American life during this era. Barks' use of colour and colourful accents adds depth and texture to the artwork, bringing the saddle to life. The natural wood grain of the saddle and stand is contrasted by the vibrant red and brown hues of the straps and decorative elements. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the individual stitches and tooling on the saddle, as well as the subtle shading and texture of the wood. This artwork is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts held by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The Index of American Design was initiated in 1932 with the goal of documenting and preserving the cultural heritage of the United States through the collection and study of American decorative arts. Barks' "Saddle" is a visual representation of the rich history and heritage of rural America during the 1930s and 1940s. The artwork not only showcases the beauty and functionality of traditional riding equipment but also offers a glimpse into the daily life and traditions of a bygone era. This artwork is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, art, or the Western experience.
