EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Pa. German Deep Dish," captures a glimpse into the past of American folk art and the Pennsylvania German tradition. Taken by artist Eugene Shellady in the 1930s or 1940s, the image portrays a collection of deep dishes, each adorned with intricate brown and red decorations, arranged on a table. The dishes, reminiscent of Pennsylvania Dutch or Pennsylvania German pottery, showcase a rich heritage that reflects the influence of German settlers in the United States. The photograph is a period item, a testament to the era's aesthetic sensibilities and the enduring appeal of traditional crafts. The dishes, with their bold geometric patterns and earthy colors, are a striking contrast against the plain table and the muted background. The oil paint on paperboard technique used by Shellady adds depth and texture to the image, making the dishes appear almost three-dimensional. The photograph is an essential addition to any collection of American decorative arts or folk art. It is a reminder of the vibrant history of American art and the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire artists and collectors alike. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., holds this photograph as part of its Index of American Design, a significant collection of American art and design from the colonial period to the 1940s. The photograph, "Pa. German Deep Dish," by Eugene Shellady, is a beautiful and intriguing glimpse into the past, showcasing the charm and allure of American folk art and the enduring legacy of the Pennsylvania German tradition.
