EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the Santo de Retablo (Virgin Mary) created by Robert W. R. Taylor and William Kieckhofel in 1939/1940. The artwork, a masterpiece of functional design, showcases the rich heritage of American art during the mid-20th century. The altarpiece, displayed at an art centre or gallery in the United States, stands as a testament to both Christian faith and artistic expression. Its colourful composition draws inspiration from traditional religious iconography while incorporating elements of modern design. With its multi-coloured palette and intricate detailing, this retablo serves as a visual representation of devotion and spirituality. The watercolour coloured pencil and graphite on paper technique employed by Taylor highlights his skillful craftsmanship. As viewers gaze upon this image, they are transported back to a bygone era - the 1930s and 1940s - when America was undergoing significant cultural shifts. This period saw an exploration of various art forms that reflected the country's diverse identity. Housed within the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this piece holds immense historical significance for those who appreciate religious art as well as those interested in exploring American artistic movements throughout history. In capturing this photograph, we pay homage to Robert W. R. Taylor's talent as an artist and William Kieckhofel's contribution to documenting American design through their collaboration on this remarkable retablo depicting Virgin Mary – a symbol revered across cultures for centuries.
