EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Spur," was created by the talented American artist, Hazel Sheckler, during the 1930s or 1940s. The watercolor and graphite on paperboard piece showcases the intricate design of a traditional horse riding spur, a functional and decorative piece of equestrian equipment. Sheckler's attention to detail is evident in the meticulously rendered leather straps and metal buckles, which convey both the strength and flexibility required for effective horse riding. The use of color and contrast in this monochromatic piece adds depth and texture, making the spur appear as if it could be reached out and touched. The spur is a period item that embodies the heritage and traditions of rural America during the 1930s and 1940s. It is a reminder of a time when horse riding was a common mode of transportation and a cherished pastime. This artwork is a testament to the functional beauty of everyday objects and the artistic vision of Hazel Sheckler. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., holds this impressive piece in its collection, making it an essential addition to the Index of American Design. The gallery's commitment to preserving and showcasing American art and cultural heritage ensures that future generations can appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of pieces like "Spur." Whether admired for its artistic merit or its historical significance, "Spur" is a captivating work that invites viewers to explore the rich history of American art and the enduring allure of the equestrian tradition.
