EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this oil painting by William Sergeant Kendall, titled "An Interlude, 1907" we are transported to a serene moment in early 20th century America. The artist skillfully portrays a scene that celebrates both motherhood and education. A young woman sits on a lush green meadow with her two daughters by her side. The warm colors of the countryside envelop them as they engage in an intimate interlude of reading together. The mother's nurturing presence is evident as she guides her children through the pages of literature, instilling in them the love for learning. Kendall's attention to detail brings out the essence of this Edwardian era family life. From their elegant attire to their refined postures, every element exudes sophistication and refinement. Through his brushstrokes, he captures not only their physical beauty but also the bond between mother and child. This painting serves as a testament to the importance placed on literacy during this time period. It reminds us that education was highly valued even in rural areas where scientific institutions were scarce. Kendall's work immortalizes these timeless values while showcasing his mastery as an artist. Now housed at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, "An Interlude, 1907" continues to inspire viewers with its depiction of familial love and intellectual growth. It stands as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with our heritage and plays an essential role in preserving our cultural identity
