EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Pie Plate, 1936" by Eugene Shellady, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Pennsylvania Dutch community in America during the 18th and 20th centuries. The vibrant, oil paint on paperboard illustration depicts a lively scene of a couple, dressed in traditional attire, engaged in a cheerful dance around a long table adorned with multicoloured tableware. The centerpiece of the table is a large, deep pie plate, its cream-coloured surface speckled with intricate decorative designs reminiscent of the 18th century. The scene is set in the 1930s or 1940s, as indicated by the era's fashion and the decorative arts style. The artist, Eugene Shellady, masterfully captures the essence of the Pennsylvania German tradition, which has its roots in Germany but flourished in the American colonies. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of this unique cultural heritage, which continues to captivate and inspire art lovers and historians alike. The "Pie Plate, 1936" is a valuable addition to any collection of American art, particularly those focusing on decorative arts, and would be a stunning centerpiece in any art gallery or museum, such as the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. or the Index of American Design. This piece is not only a beautiful work of art but also a significant historical document, providing a window into a bygone era and a reminder of the rich cultural tapestry that makes up the American experience.
