EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Pa. German Chalkware Mantel Ornament, created by Inez McCombs in approximately 1938, showcases the rich artistic traditions of the Pennsylvania Dutch community during the 20th century. The intricately detailed design features a vibrant array of fruits and foliage, rendered in both chalkware and watercolor and graphite on paper. The ornament's multicolored scheme reflects the influence of the Pennsylvania German Colony, also known as the Pennsylvania Dutch, which has a distinct artistic style characterized by its use of bright colors and folk motifs. Inez McCombs was a talented artist who contributed significantly to the decorative arts of the time. Her work, including this mantel ornament, is a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of the Pennsylvania German community during the 1930s and 1940s. The ornament's design is reminiscent of the traditional Pennsylvania Dutch folk art that was popular during this period. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is fortunate to have this piece in its collection, which serves as an important index of American Design. The gallery's acquisition of this work not only adds to its extensive collection of decorative arts but also highlights the unique artistic heritage of the Pennsylvania Dutch community. This ornament is a beautiful example of the artistry and craftsmanship that flourished in rural America during the 20th century. The ornament's brown background adds a warm, earthy tone to the vibrant colors of the fruit and foliage, creating a harmonious balance. The intricate details of the design are enhanced by the contrast between the chalkware and watercolor and graphite on paper techniques, making this a truly unique and captivating piece. This Pa. German Chalkware Mantel Ornament by Inez McCombs is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Pennsylvania Dutch community and a valuable addition to any art collection.
