EDITORS COMMENTS
This work of art, titled "Silver Shaker," is a graphite drawing on paper created by the talented American artist Hester Duany between the years 1935 and 1942. The image showcases a beautifully intricate and detailed representation of a Silver Shaker bottle, a quintessential piece of American decorative arts from the Shaker community. The Shakers were a religious sect that emerged in the late 18th century in the United States, known for their unique and functional design aesthetic. Their tableware and homeware, often made of silver and other precious metals, were highly prized for their simplicity, utility, and elegance. Duany's drawing masterfully captures the essence of this iconic American artifact, with its precise lines and shading bringing out the textures and contours of the Silver Shaker bottle. The use of graphite on paper adds an unexpected yet effective contrast to the traditional metal object, highlighting the artistic interpretation of the piece. This artwork is an important addition to any collection of American art from the 20th century, particularly from the 1930s and 1940s. It is a testament to the enduring influence of the Shaker community on American design and the continued fascination with their unique aesthetic. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is fortunate to have this piece in its esteemed collection, showcasing the rich heritage of American art and the importance of preserving and celebrating our cultural history.
