EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Elizabeth Moutal's "Wooden Mercury Figure" from 1936. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this allegorical representation, which effortlessly captures the essence of American art during the mid-20th century. The figure itself stands as a testament to Moutal's artistic prowess, skillfully carved and painted with a golden hue that exudes an air of divine elegance. Its rich color palette and intricate design make it a true masterpiece within the realm of heritage art. As we delve into its symbolism, we are transported back to a bygone era where religion played an integral role in shaping American culture. This statuette serves as both a religious icon and an embodiment of Mercury, the Roman god associated with communication and commerce. Displayed proudly at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this period item offers us a glimpse into America's artistic school during the 1930s and 1940s. It represents not only Moutal's creative genius but also reflects upon our nation's history and cultural identity. Through watercolor graphite and colored pencil on paper, Moutal has immortalized her vision for future generations to admire. This photograph print encapsulates not just an object but also tells a story about our country - its values, traditions, and artistic legacy.
