Figurehead - 'Janus', c. 1938 - A Multicoloured Symbol of Nautical Heritage
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the remarkable wood carving titled "Figurehead: 'Janus'", created by Ingrid Selmer-Larsen in 1938. The artist's skillful craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this functional piece, which was originally designed as a figurehead for a nautical vessel. The vibrant colors and intricate design make this artwork truly stand out. With its multi-colored palette, the figurehead represents an exquisite fusion of artistry and maritime tradition. The deity Janus, depicted here, is known in Roman mythology as the god of beginnings and transitions. This religious symbol adds depth and meaning to the artwork, making it more than just an object of visual appeal. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this period item serves as a testament to American heritage art from the 1930s-1940s era. It reflects both the artistic talent prevalent during that time and America's rich nautical history. Ingrid Selmer-Larsen's use of watercolor and graphite on paperboard brings life to her woodcarving creation, capturing every intricate detail with precision. This photograph allows us to appreciate her work even if we cannot witness it firsthand. As we gaze upon this stunning image, we are transported back in time to an era when craftsmanship reigned supreme, reminding us of our nation's artistic legacy while celebrating our connection
