EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the intricately carved Gatepost Finial, created by American artist Adolph Opstad in the early 1940s. The finial, a decorative element originally placed atop a gatepost, is a stunning example of the functional art that emerged during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. Opstad's masterpiece is a testament to the rich heritage of American handicrafts and the enduring appeal of woodcarving. The artist expertly captured the essence of a bird of prey, likely an eagle, with its wings spread wide and beak pointed boldly forward. The raptor's sharp features and dynamic pose convey a sense of power and grace, making this finial a true work of art. The Gatepost Finial is a multifaceted object, with its intricate carving showcasing both the artist's skill and creativity. The wooden piece was hand carved using traditional techniques, resulting in a textured and tactile surface that invites closer inspection. The use of color, specifically watercolor colored pencil and graphite on paperboard, adds depth and dimension to the already striking design. This finial is not only a functional object, designed to adorn a gatepost, but also a work of art that can be appreciated in its own right. It is a testament to the importance of the decorative arts in American culture during the 20th century and a reminder of the beauty and craftsmanship that can be found in everyday objects. The Gatepost Finial by Adolph Opstad is a cherished item in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
