EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor graphite and colored pencil drawing on paperboard, titled "Shaker Pegs and Candlestand," was created by the renowned American artist George V. Vezolles in approximately 1938. The image transports us back to the heart of the 1930s and 1940s in America, with its charming depiction of a functional and decorative Shaker pegs and candlestand. The Shaker community, known for their minimalist and practical design philosophy, is celebrated in this artwork through the simple yet elegant presentation of the pegs and candlestand. The wooden pegs, arranged in perfect order on the wall, serve as both functional tools for hanging clothing and decorative elements, adding character and warmth to the space. The candlestand, with its slender legs and unassuming design, complements the pegs and adds a touch of sophistication to the scene. Vezolles masterfully captures the essence of American heritage art, showcasing the beauty and utility of traditional objects. This piece is a testament to the Index of American Design, a significant initiative that documented and recorded American decorative arts and folk art during the 1930s and 1940s. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is fortunate to have this precious artwork in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of Vezolles' artistry and the rich history of American design.
