EDITORS COMMENTS
Saddle," a captivating work of art by Hal Blakeley, dates back to the 1940s and offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of American equestrian culture. This exquisite watercolor and graphite on paper creation, housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases Blakeley's mastery of the decorative arts and his keen eye for detail. The saddle, a period item from the 1930s or 1940s, is depicted in all its ornamental glory. The brown leather saddle, with its intricate patterns and textures, is brought to life through Blakeley's skillful use of color and shade. The artist's attentiveness to the saddle's design elements, from the tooled leatherwork to the subtle details of the stitching, is evident in every brushstroke. The saddle, a necessary piece of riding equipment for horse riders of the time, is not only functional but also a work of art in itself. Blakeley's rendering of the saddle is a testament to the beauty and craftsmanship that went into creating these items during the 1930s and 1940s. This artwork, part of the Index of American Design, is a valuable addition to the National Gallery of Art's collection and a reminder of the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the United States. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the elegance and sophistication of a bygone era, while also highlighting the timeless appeal of the equestrian tradition. Hal Blakeley's "Saddle" is not only an impressive work of art but also a window into the past, offering us a glimpse into the decorative arts and design of the 20th century United States.
