EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor graphite and colored pencil rendering on paperboard, titled "Combination Saw/Knife," was created by the accomplished American artist George Roehl in 1938. The image showcases a functional yet artistic representation of a hand tool from the 1930s and 1940s, a time when such objects held significant importance in rural America. The Combination Saw/Knife is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the era, where multi-purpose tools were essential for survival and daily life. The intricate details of the tool are beautifully rendered, from the saw teeth to the intricately designed handle. The use of color adds depth and dimension to the artwork, enhancing the textures and patterns of the tool. George Roehl's "Combination Saw/Knife" is a significant addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive documentation of American decorative arts from the Colonial period to the 1940s. This artwork is currently housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcasing the rich heritage of American art and design. The Combination Saw/Knife is not only an object of functional importance but also an artistic masterpiece that captures the essence of a bygone era. Roehl's attention to detail and ability to bring the tool to life through his artistry makes this a must-see piece for anyone interested in American history, art, or the simple beauty of functional objects.
