EDITORS COMMENTS
Clements Clayton's Lion Head (c. 1939) is a stunning example of American decorative arts from the 1930s and 1940s. This hand-carved wooden sculpture, created by the renowned artist Clements Clayton, showcases the rich heritage of American art during this period. The intricately detailed lion head is a testament to Clayton's mastery of wood carving, with each curve and line expertly crafted to bring the majestic animal to life. The Lion Head, which measures approximately 18 inches in height, is a standalone work of art that would have graced any home or gallery during the 1930s and 1940s. The use of natural wood as the primary material adds to the piece's organic and earthy appeal, while the bold and vibrant colors applied in watercolor, graphite, and gouache on paperboard serve to highlight the lion's regal features. This sculpture is an important addition to any collection of American art, particularly those focusing on the decorative arts of the 20th century. It is a period item that not only represents the artistic trends of the time but also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to influence American art today. Clements Clayton's Lion Head can be found in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to captivate visitors with its beauty and craftsmanship. The National Gallery of Art is an esteemed institution that houses an impressive collection of American and international art spanning from the Middle Ages to the present day. The inclusion of Clayton's Lion Head in their collection is a testament to its artistic significance and enduring value.
