EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor and pen and ink drawing by Orville Cline, titled "Shaker Gloves, c. 1941," transports us back in time to the American heartland during the 1930s and 1940s. The image showcases a pair of intricately designed Shaker gloves, resting on a simple, textured background. The gloves, with their distinctive green color and elegant patterns, are a testament to the rich heritage of American folk art. Orville Cline, an accomplished artist, masterfully captured the essence of these traditional gloves, which were once a staple in rural communities across the United States. The Shaker religion, which originated in the late 18th century, is known for its minimalist and functional design aesthetic. These gloves, with their simple yet beautiful patterns, reflect that ethos. The Shaker community was renowned for its craftsmanship, and their gloves were no exception. Made from soft, supple leather, they were designed to be both functional and decorative. The green color, derived from natural dyes, was not only visually appealing but also practical, as it helped to camouflage the gloves when worn in the fields. This artwork, part of the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of American folk art. The Shaker gloves, with their timeless design and beautiful craftsmanship, continue to captivate us and inspire new generations of artists and designers. This 20th-century piece is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, folk art, or the simple beauty of everyday objects.
