EDITORS COMMENTS
, a captivating lithograph by Albert Newsam (1847-1917) invites us to embark on a journey through time and imagination. Created in the late 19th century, this monochrome masterpiece showcases a woman in elegant attire, poised and ready to take flight. The title of the work is derived from a popular American folk song, adding an extra layer of meaning to the image. Newsam, an accomplished American artist, expertly employed the lithographic technique to bring this scene to life on wove paper. The intricate details of the woman's hand-held fan, the delicate folds of her dress, and the textured fabric of her gloves are all rendered with remarkable precision. The background features a serene countryside setting, complete with a grand piano and musical instruments, suggesting a connection between music and the desire for freedom. This work of art, now part of the esteemed collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the rich heritage of American art. The black and white palette, reminiscent of an era long past, adds to the timeless quality of the piece. The woman's confident and determined expression, combined with the ethereal quality of her wings, evoke a sense of empowerment and the boundless possibilities of the human spirit. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of nature, music, and the freedom to spread one's wings and fly, held the power to inspire and uplift the soul. A true treasure of American art history, "Spread Thy Wings and Away!" continues to captivate and inspire viewers, leaving us with a renewed appreciation for the beauty and potential of the human spirit.
