EDITORS COMMENTS
Frances Cohen's Figurehead (c. 1938) is a captivating work of art that showcases the intricate beauty and craftsmanship of hand-carved wood. This masterpiece, created during the 1930s, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of America during the 20th century. Cohen's Figurehead is a stunning representation of a female figure, her form adorned with intricate patterns and decorative elements. The figurehead's expressive face, with its delicate features and piercing gaze, exudes a sense of strength and grace. The figurehead's elaborate headdress, adorned with colorful feathers and beads, adds an air of regality and mystery. The Figurehead was created using a combination of watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink on paper, with intricate carving details added to the wood base. The result is a work of art that is both visually stunning and historically significant. The Figurehead is a reminder of the nautical traditions and transportation history of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. Figureheads were once common adornments on the bows of ships, serving both as decorative elements and as protective symbols. This Figurehead, with its intricate carving and vibrant colors, would have once graced the bow of a grand ship, sailing the waters of the United States and beyond. Today, Frances Cohen's Figurehead is a cherished piece of American art, preserving the traditions of handicraft and wood carving that have been passed down through generations. It can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
