Sun Dial, c. 1937 - A Timeless Symbol of Faith and Artistry
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and spiritual symbolism of William Kerby's "Sun Dial" created in 1937. As a prominent figure in American art during the mid-20th century, Kerby masterfully combines elements of functional design with religious motifs to create a truly remarkable piece. The sun dial itself serves as the centerpiece, adorned with Roman numerals that elegantly mark the passing hours. Its delicate watercolor graphite and gouache on paperboard bring forth a vibrant array of colors, highlighting Kerby's meticulous attention to detail. Beyond its decorative appeal, this artwork carries deep religious significance. The crucifix at its core represents Christianity while the Ave Maria and Hail Mary prayers evoke devotion to the Virgin Mary. These elements seamlessly blend together to form an artistic expression that resonates with both faith and heritage. Displayed within the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this period item stands as a testament to America's rich cultural history. It reflects not only Kerby's artistic prowess but also his ability to capture moments from a specific era – here, capturing the essence of 1930s and 1940s America. As we gaze upon this stunning image, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with spirituality throughout human history. "Sun Dial" invites us to pause for reflection amidst our busy lives – reminding us that time is fleeting yet sacred; it urges us
