EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink on paper artwork by the talented American artist, Hazel Sheckler. This exquisite piece, created during the 1930s and 1940s, transports us back in time to a simpler era in American history. The image showcases a close-up view of a traditional horse bit, a functional and essential piece of equestrian equipment used for guiding and controlling a horse during riding. The intricate details of the bit's design are beautifully rendered, with the interplay of color and contrast expertly captured through Sheckler's masterful use of watercolor and graphite. The bit's curved shape, intricate patterns, and subtle shading create a visually striking and textured piece that invites the viewer to examine its every detail. This artwork is not only a testament to Sheckler's artistic skill but also serves as a valuable historical artifact. The bit, with its traditional design, is reminiscent of the equestrian heritage and rural lifestyle that was prevalent in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. The artwork is a cherished addition to the Index of American Design, a significant collection of American decorative arts, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The National Gallery of Art, a renowned cultural institution, is proud to showcase Sheckler's "Bit, c. 1940" as part of its extensive collection. This artwork is not only a beautiful and functional piece of art but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the equestrian traditions and artistic sensibilities of a bygone era. In summary, "Bit, c. 1940" by Hazel Sheckler is a stunning work of art that combines historical significance, artistic mastery, and a glimpse into American heritage. This piece is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for art, history, and the equestrian world.
