EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor graphite gouache on paper artwork, titled "Tally Ho" or "Brake" by American artist Fred Weiss, dates back to the 1930s or 1940s. The image transports us back in time to a simpler era, showcasing a horse-drawn carriage adorned with intricate golden details against a taupe background. The horse, with its powerful muscles and determined expression, stands still, attached to the carriage by a thick, brown rein. The carriage itself is a masterpiece of functional art, with its elegant design and meticulously crafted brake system. This artwork is a testament to the rich heritage of American art, particularly during the 20th century. The Decorative Arts and Design period, which spanned the 1930s and 1940s, was marked by a focus on functional objects that were both beautiful and practical. Weiss's "Tally Ho" or "Brake" embodies this spirit, with its stunning visual appeal and the underlying functionality of the horse-drawn carriage. The artwork is currently housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., a renowned institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing the finest works of art from the United States and around the world. The National Gallery of Art's Index of American Design includes this piece as an important item from the period, highlighting its significance in the history of American art and transportation. Whether you're an art enthusiast, a historian, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of a well-crafted object, this artwork by Fred Weiss is sure to leave a lasting impression. Its vibrant colors, intricate details, and rich history make it a must-see addition to any art center or gallery.
