EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor and graphite on paper rendering by George V. Vezolles, titled "Shaker Rug, 1935/1942," showcases the intricate design and vibrant colors of a traditional Shaker rug. The rug, which dates back to the 1930s or 1940s, is a testament to the functional yet artistic nature of Shaker craftsmanship. The rug's design features a series of multicolored squares, each adorned with stylized animal shapes. Horses and other animals are depicted in bold, graphic lines, their forms simplified yet full of character. The rug's color palette is rich and varied, with reds, blues, greens, and yellows creating a dynamic visual texture. Vezolles, an American artist, captured the essence of this iconic American art form with remarkable precision and detail. His use of watercolor and graphite on paper adds a delicate, almost ethereal quality to the rug's bold design, highlighting the contrast between the rug's functional purpose and its artistic value. The Shaker community, known for their minimalist and functional approach to design, produced a wide range of decorative arts, including textiles, furniture, and rugs. This rug, with its playful animal designs and bold colors, is a unique example of the Shaker tradition, blending functionality with artistic expression. This image of the Shaker Rug, 1935/1942, is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive documentation of American decorative arts from the Colonial period to the 1940s. It is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
