Spur, c. 1936 Creator: J.Henry Marley (1895-1961) This evocative pen and ink and watercolor on paper artwork, titled "Spur," was created by American artist J.Henry Marley in approximately 1936. Marley, born in 1895, was a renowned illustrator and graphic artist whose work graced the pages of numerous magazines and advertising campaigns throughout the 20th century. The image captures a close-up view of a traditional riding spur, a vital piece of equestrian equipment used to aid riders in guiding and controlling their horses. The spur's intricate design is rendered in meticulous detail, with its curved, pointed rowels and intricate metalwork on full display. The spur's rich, earthy tones and textures are brought to life through Marley's masterful use of color and shading, transporting the viewer back to the rural landscapes and horse-drawn lifestyles of the American heartland during the 1930s. This artwork is an invaluable addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a glimpse into the heritage and history of American design and the equestrian traditions that have shaped our cultural identity. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. and other prestigious institutions have recognized the importance of Marley's work, with pieces like "Spur" being showcased in their permanent collections. As an index of American design, "Spur" is a testament to the enduring allure of the rural American experience and the artistry of a bygone era. This period item, with its rich history and intricate craftsmanship, is a must-have for any art enthusiast, collector, or historian seeking to explore the depth and diversity of American art during the 1930s.
