EDITORS COMMENTS
Shroud Deck Eye" is a captivating work of art created by American artist Eugene Bartz in 1939. This exquisite watercolour graphite and coloured pencil drawing on paperboard is a testament to Bartz's exceptional artistic abilities and his keen observation of the world around him. The image depicts a shroud deck eye, a functional component of a ship's deck used to secure ropes and cables. The eye is shown in intricate detail, with the screw threads meticulously rendered in graphite and the shroud itself delicately depicted in watercolour. The use of colour adds depth and texture to the piece, with the rusty hue of the metal and the worn, weathered appearance of the shroud bringing a sense of history and heritage to the artwork. Bartz's "Shroud Deck Eye" is a prime example of the functional art movement of the 1930s and 1940s, which emphasized the beauty and design in everyday objects. This period, also known as the American Century, was marked by innovation and progress, and Bartz's artwork reflects the spirit of the times. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this piece in its collection as part of the Index of American Design. The gallery's holdings represent a diverse range of American art from the colonial period to the present day, and Bartz's "Shroud Deck Eye" is a valuable addition to this important collection. Whether viewed as a work of art or an intriguing historical artifact, "Shroud Deck Eye" is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing both the functional beauty of a simple object and the artistic skill of a talented American artist.
