Hobby Horse, 1935/1942 Artist: Adele Brooks (1896-1992) Description: This charming and intricately detailed watercolor and graphite on paper artwork, titled "Hobby Horse," is a creation of American artist Adele Brooks. Dated between 1935 and 1942, this piece showcases the artist's exceptional skill in blending various artistic mediums to bring a whimsical and nostalgic image to life. The artwork depicts a wooden hobby horse, a popular children's toy from the 19th and early 20th centuries. The horse's body is made of wood, meticulously rendered in graphite, while its vibrant colors are brought to life through the application of watercolor. The hobby horse's expressive eyes, adorned with intricate lashes and pupils, add a sense of liveliness and personality to the piece. The image is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. Adele Brooks' work is a valuable addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive database of American decorative arts and fine arts from the colonial period to the 1940s, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The artwork's location in the gallery invites viewers to explore the intricacies of the piece and to reminisce about the simpler joys of childhood. The hobby horse, with its wooden construction and colorful design, stands as a symbol of American craftsmanship and creativity during a period of significant change and growth in the country's history.
