EDITORS COMMENTS
Walking Stick," created by American artist Lyman Young in the 1930s or 1940s, is a stunning example of decorative arts from this period. The walking stick, now a cherished item in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to Young's artistic vision and craftsmanship. Measuring approximately 36 inches in length, the walking stick is a functional object that has been transformed into a work of art. The handle, made of cream-colored wood and embellished with intricate watercolor and graphite designs, is a feast for the eyes. The handle's central motif is a vibrant red bird perched on a branch, surrounded by detailed foliage and abstract patterns. The bird's feathers are rendered in exquisite detail, with each feather's texture and color faithfully captured. The shaft of the walking stick is also adorned with watercolor and graphite designs, adding to its visual appeal. The designs are a harmonious blend of abstract patterns and natural motifs, creating a visually striking contrast against the cream-colored background. Young's "Walking Stick" is a prime example of the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration during the 1930s and 1940s to document and record American decorative arts and folk art. This walking stick is not only a functional object but also an important piece of American heritage art, reflecting the artistic trends and cultural values of the time. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is home to many such period items, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of the United States. Young's "Walking Stick" is a must-see for anyone interested in American art, decorative arts, or the arts of the 1930s and 1940s.
