EDITORS COMMENTS
Frances Cohen's Figurehead of Rembrandt, created in 1938, is a stunning example of American decorative arts from the 1930s and 1940s. This intricately hand-carved figurehead, made of wood, showcases Cohen's exceptional skill and creativity. The design is inspired by the renowned Dutch painter Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606-1669), one of the greatest artists in European art history. Cohen's Figurehead of Rembrandt is a testament to the rich heritage of art and craftsmanship in the United States during this period. The figurehead is not only a visual delight with its detailed woodcarving but also a historical artifact, reflecting the influence of European art on American artists and craftsmen. The Figurehead of Rembrandt is a unique blend of color and contrast, with the white wood standing out against the dark background. The use of watercolor and graphite on paper for the background adds an extra layer of depth and dimension to the piece. The figurehead's expression, with its intense gaze and furrowed brow, captures the essence of Rembrandt's mastery of portraiture. This figurehead was once a proud adornment on a ship, adding a nautical touch to its historical significance. Today, it is a cherished item 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. Frances Cohen's Figurehead of Rembrandt is a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us across time and place, connecting us to the past and inspiring us for the future.
