EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor and graphite on paperboard artwork by Orville Cline, titled "Shaker Spool Rack and Spools," transports us back to the charming and intricately detailed world of the American 1930s and 1940s. The image showcases a Shaker-style spool rack and an assortment of spools, meticulously arranged and bathed in a soft, warm light. Orville Cline's masterful use of color and contrast highlights the textures and patterns of the wooden spool rack, which is adorned with simple, elegant lines and geometric shapes that are characteristic of Shaker design. The spools, in various hues, add a pop of color against the earthy tones of the wood, creating a harmonious and visually appealing composition. The Shaker community, known for their minimalist and functional approach to design, is believed to have originated in the late 1700s in New England. The Shakers were renowned for their meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail, which is evident in the intricate design of the spool rack. This artwork, created in the late 1930s, is an exquisite representation of the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions that flourished in the United States during the 20th century. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this precious piece as part of its Index of American Design, which serves as an invaluable resource for scholars, artists, and enthusiasts of American art and history. The Shaker Spool Rack and Spools by Orville Cline is not only a beautiful work of art but also a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional American design and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.
