EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Shaker Rug, created by George V. Vezolles in approximately 1941, is a stunning example of American decorative arts from the 20th century. The rug, with its distinctive oval shape and intricate geometric design, is a testament to the functional yet artistic ethos of the Shaker community. Vezolles, an accomplished artist, captured the essence of this traditional craft in his watercolor and graphite rendering on paper. The rug's vibrant blue hues and precise lines reflect the Shaker belief in simplicity and order, while also showcasing the rich heritage of American design. This period item, which hails from the 1930s and 1940s, is a valuable addition to any collection of decorative arts or Americana. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is fortunate to have this work in its impressive collection, which is a testament to the enduring appeal and significance of Shaker craftsmanship. The rug's oval shape and meticulous design are reminiscent of the Shaker community's focus on functionality and harmony, making it a cherished piece of both historical and artistic importance. The use of wool in the creation of the rug adds to its authenticity and charm, as wool was a common material used by the Shakers in their crafts. This item, with its rich history and beautiful design, is a must-see for anyone interested in the arts and crafts of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s.
