EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning wood carving, titled "Profile Face" by Gerard Barnett, dates back to the 1930s and 1940s, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of America during this period. The intricately hand-carved profile of an animal head is a testament to Barnett's exceptional skill and creativity. The sculpture's expressive features and textured surface bring the artwork to life, inviting viewers to explore the depths of its character. Barnett, an accomplished woodcarver, expertly crafted this piece using traditional techniques, resulting in a unique and captivating work of art. The profile carving is not only a visual delight but also a tactile experience, inviting viewers to run their fingers over the intricate details and appreciate the artistry that went into its creation. The Profile Face is a standout piece from the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts, which was initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s. This national initiative aimed to document and preserve American art and cultural heritage, making it an important addition to the Index. The wood carving is a beautiful example of the artistry and craftsmanship that thrived during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. Its vibrant colors and intricate details make it a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, adding a touch of history and character to any space. This piece, with its timeless design and captivating profile, is a true treasure of American art and a testament to the talent and vision of Gerard Barnett.
