EDITORS COMMENTS
Frances Cohen's Figurehead, created around 1937, is a stunning example of American decorative arts from the 1930s and 1940s. This hand-carved figurehead showcases Cohen's exceptional skill and creativity, as she masterfully brought this nautical beauty to life using traditional woodcarving techniques. The woman depicted wears a flowing dress and holds a large anchor, symbolizing strength and stability. The figurehead's cream-colored wood base is intricately carved with intricate patterns and designs, adding to its allure. Cohen's Figurehead is a testament to the rich heritage of American art during this period. The 20th century was a time of innovation and experimentation, and this piece reflects the unique blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern design sensibilities. The use of color, specifically watercolor and graphite on paper, adds depth and dimension to the figurehead, making it a truly captivating work of art. The Figurehead is an important addition to any art collection, particularly those focusing on the decorative arts or nautical themes. It is a period item that transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry of a bygone era. This Figurehead can be found in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. Frances Cohen's Figurehead is a true masterpiece, a work of art that embodies the spirit of the 1930s and 1940s, and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States.
