EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Rex Dolmith's masterful creation, "Looking-glass," produced around 1936. The artwork is a stunning representation of a hand-carved mirror frame, transporting us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s in America. The intricately designed mirror frame is depicted in rich, warm browns, evoking a sense of nostalgia and heritage. The woodcarving is expertly executed, with delicate lines and precise detailing that speak to the artisan's skill and dedication. The use of watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite on paper adds depth and texture to the image, making it a true work of art. The mirror itself is not visible in the print, but the ornate frame takes center stage, its curves and lines suggesting the elegance and grace of a bygone era. The frame's design is reminiscent of the Decorative Arts movement, with its emphasis on craftsmanship and attention to detail. This piece is a testament to the beauty and artistry of handicrafts in the United States during the 20th century. It is a period item that would have graced the walls of an American home during the Thirties and Forties, adding a touch of sophistication and charm to any room. Today, it is a cherished piece of heritage art, showcased in galleries and art centers around the country. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is one such institution that has recognized the importance of Rex Dolmith's work, including "Looking-glass" in its esteemed Index of American Design. This print is a reminder of the enduring influence of American art and design on our cultural heritage.
