EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Mantel Clock, created in 1938 by the talented artist Francis Law Durand. The clock, a true representation of American decorative arts from the 1930s, exudes an old-fashioned charm that transports us back to a bygone era. In this close-up shot, we can appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship of this exquisite timepiece. The wooden frame is beautifully adorned with delicate green-colored decorations, adding a touch of elegance to any mantelpiece it graces. The clock face features Roman numerals meticulously drawn with pen and ink, showcasing Durand's artistic prowess. As we delve into the artwork's composition further, we notice the clever use of watercolor colored pencil and graphite on paperboard. This technique adds depth and dimension to the piece while capturing its vintage essence. Preserved at the National Gallery of Art in Washington as part of their Index of American Design collection, this Mantel Clock represents not only an object but also serves as a testament to America's rich cultural heritage. Durand's creation stands as a reminder that art transcends time; it allows us to connect with our past while appreciating its beauty in our present-day lives. This print encapsulates both history and artistry within its frame—a timeless treasure for all admirers of fine craftsmanship and nostalgia alike.
