EDITORS COMMENTS
Bear's Head" is a captivating work of art created by Laura Bilodeau in the late 1930s. This exquisite piece, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases the artist's exceptional skill in wood carving. The bear's head is intricately hand-carved from a solid piece of wood, revealing the artist's meticulous attention to detail. The texture of the wood grain is accentuated, adding depth and dimension to the artwork. The bear's face is expressive and full of character, with deep-set eyes that seem to peer intently at the viewer. The nose and mouth are carved with remarkable precision, adding a sense of life and personality to the piece. The ornamental design of the bear's head is further enhanced by the use of watercolor and graphite on paperboard, which adds a splash of color and contrast to the wooden base. This artwork is a testament to the rich heritage of American decorative arts during the 1930s and 1940s. The period is characterized by a renewed interest in traditional crafts and handicrafts, as well as a focus on natural forms and organic materials. "Bear's Head" embodies these trends, making it an important addition to any collection of American art. Laura Bilodeau was a renowned artist and craftswoman, known for her expertise in wood carving and other forms of handicraft. Her work was featured in various galleries and exhibitions during the 20th century, including the Index of American Design, which documented American-made objects from the Colonial period to the present day. Today, "Bear's Head" continues to captivate audiences at the National Gallery of Art, where it serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States and the enduring appeal of traditional crafts.
