Shutter Dog
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolor and graphite on paper artwork created by the American artist F. W. Powell during the 1930s or 1940s. This decorative piece, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases Powell's exceptional ability to blend functionality with art. The artwork depicts a whimsical shutter dog, aptly named "Shutter Dog," designed to serve as a stay for an old-fashioned window. The shutter dog, with its expressive eyes and playful demeanor, adds a touch of charm and character to the otherwise mundane window fittings. The intricate details of the dog's fur, paws, and tail are rendered with remarkable precision, while the use of color and shading adds depth and dimension to the artwork. The "Shutter Dog" is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the 20th century, a time when functional objects were often embellished with decorative elements to enhance their aesthetic appeal. This artwork, which could be classified as a decorative art or design object, is a fascinating example of how art and functionality intersected during this period. The "Shutter Dog" is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts and crafts housed in the National Gallery of Art. This artwork, with its unique blend of art and function, is a reminder of the rich heritage of American art and design during the 1930s and 1940s. Whether admired in a gallery setting or as a decorative piece in a home, the "Shutter Dog" continues to captivate viewers with its charm and intricacy, making it a beloved and cherished object of American art history.
