EDITORS COMMENTS
Carousel Rooster" is a stunning and intricately hand-carved wooden sculpture by American artist Clements Clayton, created likely in the late 1930s or early 1940s. This beautiful work of art showcases Clayton's exceptional skill and creativity, as he brought this rooster to life through the meticulous use of woodcarving techniques. The rooster, with its vibrant and detailed plumage, is depicted in a lively and animated pose, as if ready to crow at the break of dawn. The artist's use of color, achieved through watercolor, graphite, and colored pencil on paper, adds depth and dimension to the artwork, enhancing the rooster's textured appearance and making it all the more lifelike. This decorative piece is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s, a time when handicrafts and folk art gained significant popularity. The carousel rooster would have been a cherished addition to any home during this period, serving as a symbol of rural life and a reminder of the simple pleasures of country living. Today, "Carousel Rooster" is an invaluable piece of American art history, and can be found in the prestigious collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. As part of the Index of American Design, this artwork is an important representation of the decorative arts during the 20th century and continues to inspire artists and collectors alike. With its intricate carving and beautiful use of color, Clements Clayton's "Carousel Rooster" is a masterpiece that captures the essence of a bygone era and serves as a reminder of the beauty and creativity that can be found in the most unexpected places.
