EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating graphite on paperboard drawing by the 20th century American artist Bernard Westmacott, created around 1936. This intriguing artwork depicts a whimsical and whirling wooden statue, reminiscent of a weathervane, that seems to defy gravity as it spins in the breeze. The statue is a man, dressed in the fashion of the 1930s and 1940s, with a broad-brimmed hat and a flowing coat, his arms outstretched as if to embrace the wind. The image is a delightful blend of art and design, with a decorative quality that would have looked at home in any American country home during the thirties and forties. Measuring approximately 14 x 11 inches, the drawing is a scale representation of the statue, which would have been a striking addition to any garden or yard. The concept of a spinning statue is not new, but Westmacott's interpretation is unique and full of character. The weathered texture of the graphite lines and the subtle shading give the image a sense of age and history, while the bold lines and dynamic composition add a modern and playful energy. This drawing is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts, and is now part of the permanent collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The image is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States, and a reminder of the simple pleasures and joys of a bygone era. Whether viewed as a work of art or a design inspiration, "Whirligig" is a delightful and intriguing piece that continues to captivate and inspire viewers today.
