EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by Harold Ballard, showcasing his exceptional talent in capturing the essence of American rural life during the 1930s and 1940s. This exquisite watercolour and graphite on paper piece, created by Ballard in 1940, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a simpler time. The image features a meticulously rendered driving bit, a crucial piece of horse riding equipment used to guide and control a horse. The bit, with its intricate design and functional beauty, is depicted in vibrant color and striking detail. The bit's biting surface is shown in stark contrast to the smooth, polished metal of the rest of the piece, highlighting its essential purpose. Ballard's masterful use of watercolour and graphite allows the bit to stand out against a plain, unassuming background, drawing the viewer's attention to the intricacies of the design. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the texture of the metal, the subtle reflections, and the delicate shading. This artwork is not only a beautiful example of Ballard's artistic abilities but also a significant historical artifact. It is a period item that reflects the heritage and traditions of rural America during the 1930s and 1940s. The Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., has recognized the importance of this piece and included it in their extensive collection. The "Jay Eye See Driving Bit, 1940" is a testament to Ballard's artistic vision and his ability to capture the essence of a bygone era. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to influence and inspire us today. Whether viewed as a work of art or a historical artifact, this piece is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, art, or rural life.
