Santos Retablos, 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art created by American artist Maude Valle. This masterpiece, dating back to the 1930s, is a watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite drawing on paperboard with a wooden frame. The intricately designed altarpiece, also known as retablos, showcases a vibrant and multicolored depiction of various Catholic saints. The image transports us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s in the United States, where the influence of Catholicism was deeply rooted in the culture. Valle's artwork reflects the rich heritage of this period, with its decorative arts and design elements that embodied the spirit of the era. The retablo is adorned with a collection of Santos, or holy images, including male and female saints, children, and even animals. The saints are depicted in various poses, some in quiet contemplation, while others are shown in active engagement with their followers. The use of color and the intricate details in each figure add depth and dimension to the artwork. The retablo is a testament to the importance of religious art in American history and the role it played in shaping the country's cultural identity. Valle's artwork is a significant addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts and design from the Colonial period to the 1940s. Today, "Santos Retablos, 1936" can be found in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The artwork serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of Catholicism on American art and culture, and the importance of preserving and celebrating our artistic heritage.
