Faith, Hope and Charity - Stone Figures from Facade of Mission, 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Edward Jewett transports us back to the 1930s in America. The image showcases three stone figures standing tall on the facade of a mission, representing Faith, Hope, and Charity. These allegorical figures symbolize the values that were deeply cherished during this era. The artist's use of graphite and watercolor colored pencil brings out the intricate details of these statues. Despite their headless state, they exude a sense of grace and serenity. Their presence evokes a feeling of nostalgia for an earlier time when art was intricately woven into everyday life. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the importance placed on family and community in American culture. The inclusion of babies and children further emphasizes themes such as motherhood, parenting, and innocence. Located within the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this artifact serves as a testament to our rich artistic heritage. It stands as an enduring reminder that art has always been a powerful medium for expressing concepts like faith, hope, love, and compassion. Edward Jewett's work captures not only the beauty but also the essence of an entire era in American history. Through his skillful rendering techniques combined with his deep understanding of symbolism, he invites us to reflect upon our own values while appreciating the timeless nature of art itself.
