EDITORS COMMENTS
Santos Retablos, 1936" is a captivating work of art by Maude Valle, showcasing a vibrant and intricately detailed altarpiece from the 1930s and 1940s. This masterpiece, now preserved at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 20th century. The retablo, a traditional devotional painting on a wooden panel, is adorned with multiple santos or saints, each depicted in richly colored watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite. The saints, including male and female figures, are rendered with a sense of reverence and dignity, their faces expressing serene devotion. The background is filled with intricate patterns and decorative elements, reflecting the influence of Catholicism and Roman Catholicism on American art during the period. The retablo, titled "Santos Retablos," is a significant addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts and fine arts produced between 1600 and 1820 and 1876 and the present. Valle's work, created in the 1930s and 1940s, is a valuable representation of the evolution of American art during the 20th century. The multi-colored and multicolored palette of the retablo adds to its visual appeal, making it a striking addition to any art center or gallery. The use of watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite on paperboard, combined with the wooden panel, adds to the textured and tactile quality of the piece. Overall, "Santos Retablos, 1936" is a beautiful and intriguing work of art that invites viewers to explore the depths of American artistic heritage and the enduring influence of religion on creative expression.
