EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Spur," is a masterpiece created by American artist Eldon Allen during the 1930s or 1940s. The image showcases a close-up view of a traditional cowhide spur, a vital piece of equestrian riding equipment used to urge a horse forward. The spur's intricate design is brought to life through Eldon Allen's skillful use of watercolour, graphite, and gouache on paper. The spur's brown cowhide surface is textured and lifelike, while the metal accents are depicted in crisp, white contrast. The delicate details of the spur's metal bands and buckle are expertly rendered, giving the viewer a sense of the craftsmanship and care that went into creating this functional art piece. The decade of creation for this artwork is uncertain, with some sources attributing it to the 1930s and others to the 1940s. Regardless of the exact timeframe, "Spur" is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and the enduring appeal of the rural lifestyle. This artwork is an essential addition to any art collection, particularly those focusing on the Index of American Design or the arts and crafts movement. It is also an excellent conversation starter for anyone interested in the history of riding equipment or the art of the 20th century. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is one of the many esteemed institutions that have recognized the value of Eldon Allen's work, making "Spur" a sought-after piece for art enthusiasts and collectors alike. Whether displayed in a modern art centre or a traditional gallery, this artwork is sure to captivate and inspire.
