EDITORS COMMENTS
Spur, c. 1936 Creator: J.Henry Marley (1888-1962) This evocative pen and ink and watercolor on paper drawing by American artist J.Henry Marley captures the essence of horse riding culture in the United States during the 1930s. Entitled "Spur," this artwork showcases a beautifully detailed representation of a traditional riding implement - a spur. The spur, an essential piece of equestrian equipment, is depicted in all its intricacy, with its metal prongs and intricate design elements. Marley's mastery of line and form is evident in the way he renders the curves and angles of the spur's metal body, as well as the delicate details of the leather straps and buckles. The use of color and shading adds depth and texture to the drawing, making the spur appear almost three-dimensional. The artwork is a period piece, reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities of the time. It is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and the enduring appeal of rural life and traditions. This drawing is an excellent addition to any collection of 20th-century American art, particularly those focusing on the Index of American Design or the arts and crafts movement. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. holds this artwork in its esteemed collection, a recognition of Marley's talent and the historical significance of his work. The spur, as depicted in this drawing, is not only an object of functional importance in horse riding but also an artifact of American history and culture. This artwork invites us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of a bygone era, while also reminding us of the enduring allure of the American West and the equestrian traditions that continue to thrive in the United States today.
