Cast Iron Dobbie - Jockey, c. 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by American artist Dorothy Brennan. This decorative piece, created during the 1930s or 1940s, showcases the artist's exceptional talent in watercolor, graphite, and gouache on paperboard. The image depicts a jockey, aptly named "Cast Iron Dobbie," in a moment of intense focus and determination as he rides his horse in a country racecourse. Brennan's use of color and contrast in this statuette is truly remarkable. The jockey's vibrant red and green silks stand out against the muted tones of the horse, the track, and the surrounding countryside. The intricate details in the jockey's facial expression, the horse's muscular form, and the texture of the iron saddle add depth and dimension to the piece. The artwork is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and the period's fascination with sports and the rural lifestyle. The 20th century piece is a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those focusing on decorative arts, design, or the history of American art. This statuette, now a cherished item, was once a popular piece in galleries and art centers across the United States. It can now be found in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors. The National Gallery of Art's Index of American Design has recognized the significance of this work, making it an essential part of the country's artistic legacy. Brennan's "Cast Iron Dobbie: Jockey, c. 1937" is not only a beautiful work of art but also a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the sportsman's world of the 1930s and 1940s. The piece is a reminder of the enduring appeal of the human spirit, the thrill of competition, and the beauty of the American countryside.
