EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate craftsmanship of Flora Merchant's "Stern Carving: Spread Eagle" from 1935/1942. The artist, known for her exceptional folk art creations, beautifully captures the essence of a majestic bird of prey in this relief carving. The spread eagle, with its wings gracefully extended and talons ready to strike, exudes power and strength. Every detail is meticulously carved into the wooden sculpture, showcasing Merchant's skillful handiwork. The use of watercolor and graphite on paperboard adds depth and dimension to the artwork. Displayed in an art gallery at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this piece represents a significant part of American heritage art. It reflects both the artistic talent prevalent during the 1930s and 1940s as well as America's fascination with wildlife. The color palette chosen by Merchant further enhances the realism of her creation, capturing every nuance of feathers and beak with precision. This artwork serves as a testament to Merchant's ability to transform wood into lifelike representations that evoke awe and admiration. As we gaze upon this remarkable sculpture through this photo print, we are transported back in time to an era when skilled artisans like Flora Merchant celebrated nature through their craft. Her "Stern Carving: Spread Eagle" stands as a reminder of our country's rich artistic history and continues to inspire generations with its timeless beauty.
