EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Ingrid Selmer-Larsen's "Carved Wood Figure - Flying Mercury", created in 1936. The artist, hailing from America, skillfully carved this decorative wooden figure with great attention to detail and precision. The sculpture depicts the Roman god Mercury in mid-flight, his graceful form captured beautifully by Selmer-Larsen's artistic vision. With outstretched wings and a dynamic pose, Mercury appears as if frozen in time, conveying a sense of movement and energy. The use of watercolor and graphite on paper adds depth and color to the artwork, enhancing its visual impact. The warm tones evoke a feeling of nostalgia for the era it was created in – the 1930s. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this piece is part of the Index of American Design collection. It serves as a testament to both Selmer-Larsen's talent as an artist and her contribution to American heritage art. Through her woodcarving skills, Selmer-Larsen brings forth not only an aesthetically pleasing object but also pays homage to religious iconography. This depiction of Mercury symbolizes his role as a deity associated with communication, commerce, and travel. Ingrid Selmer-Larsen's "Carved Wood Figure - Flying Mercury" stands as an enduring example of functional art that seamlessly blends beauty with cultural significance.
