EDITORS COMMENTS
Railroad Platter, 1939" is a captivating work of art by American artist Ralph Atkinson. This exquisite piece, created during the pivotal decades of the 1930s and 1940s, showcases Atkinson's mastery of watercolour, graphite pen, and ink, as well as his exceptional design sensibilities. The platter, with its cream colour palette, is adorned with intricate detail, depicting a vibrant railroad scene. The artist expertly captures the essence of America's transportation revolution, with trains winding through the landscape, their smokestacks billowing plumes of steam. The rich, textured background, with its lush greenery and rolling hills, adds depth and dimension to the composition. This stunning ceramic platter, now a cherished piece of heritage art, was originally created on paperboard. The index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. acknowledges the significance of this work, which serves as a testament to the artistic innovation and cultural heritage of the United States during the 20th century. The Railroad Platter is not only a beautiful addition to any art collection but also a fascinating glimpse into the past. It transports us back to a time when railways were the lifeblood of America, connecting communities and fueling the country's economic growth. This artwork is a reminder of the rich history and artistic talent that the United States has to offer. Whether displayed in a contemporary art centre or a traditional art gallery, the Railroad Platter by Ralph Atkinson is sure to inspire and delight, inviting viewers to explore the intricacies of its design and the stories it tells of a bygone era.
