EDITORS COMMENTS
Hazel Sheckler's captivating artwork, titled "Spur," transports us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s in America. This exquisite watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink rendering on paper showcases a pair of intricately designed spurs from the era. The spurs, with their rich leather and metal and leather construction, are a testament to the functional art that was prevalent during this period. The index of American Design, a New Deal program initiated by the Treasury Department, commissioned Sheckler to create this work as part of its mission to document and preserve American decorative arts and design. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. now houses this precious piece as part of its extensive collection. Sheckler's attention to detail is evident in the textured representation of the leather and the meticulous depiction of the metalwork. The spurs' intricate patterns and designs are a reflection of the equestrian culture that was deeply ingrained in American society during the 1930s and 1940s. This artwork is a beautiful example of the artistic and cultural heritage of the United States during the 20th century. The thirties and forties were a time of innovation and creativity, and Sheckler's "Spur" is a testament to the functional art that emerged during this period. Whether admired for its aesthetic value or its historical significance, this piece is a must-see for anyone interested in American art, design, or the equestrian way of life.
