Cross, c. 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by the Belgian-American artist Lucien Verbeke, created during the 1930s. This exquisite piece, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to Verbeke's mastery of color and form. The cross, a symbol deeply rooted in Christianity and representing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, is depicted in this artwork as a functional and decorative object. The cross is rendered in watercolor and graphite on paper, with intricate details that bring out the essence of the religious artifact. The use of color and shape adds depth and dimension to the piece, making it a visual feast for the eyes. The cross is set against a plain background, allowing it to take center stage. Its simple yet elegant design is a nod to the minimalist aesthetic popular during the 1930s and 1940s. The cross's metal body is textured and rough, adding to its authenticity and heritage value. This artwork is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project, which aimed to document and preserve American decorative arts and crafts. "Cross, c. 1936" is not only a beautiful piece of art but also an essential historical artifact that provides insight into the religious and artistic landscape of the United States during the 20th century. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is proud to have this work in its collection, showcasing it to visitors from around the world. The gallery is an essential cultural institution that plays a vital role in preserving and promoting American art and heritage. "Cross, c. 1936" is a must-see for anyone interested in American art, religious art, or the history of the 20th century.
