EDITORS COMMENTS
Frank C. Barks' captivating watercolor and pen and ink drawing, titled "Side Saddle," transports us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s in America. This exquisite artwork, created by Barks in 1937, showcases the elegance and craftsmanship of a bygone era. The image features a rider gracefully seated side saddle atop a horse, her flowing skirt billowing in the wind. The intricately detailed side saddle, adorned with ornate designs and made of supple cowhide, is a testament to the artistry and skill of the time. The saddle's rich, earthy tones contrast beautifully with the lush greenery of the surrounding landscape, adding to the overall sense of tranquility and nostalgia. Barks' use of color and pen work adds depth and texture to the piece, bringing the scene to life. The attention to detail in the rider's outfit, from the high-waisted riding breeches to the fitted jacket and jabber hat, further emphasizes the period's distinctive style. This artwork is not only a decorative piece but also a significant historical document, reflecting the heritage and traditions of rural America during the thirties and forties. It is a treasure from the Index of American Design, a collection of American decorative arts held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. "Side Saddle" is a stunning example of Frank C. Barks' artistic talent and his ability to capture the essence of a bygone era. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of the past while reminding us of the enduring allure of the American West.
