EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative artwork, titled "Holy Water Bucket" by American artist Dana Bartlett, dates back to the 1930s and offers a captivating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 20th century. The intricately detailed drawing, executed in watercolor and graphite on paper, showcases a copper holy water bucket with a scalloped edge and an ornate handle. The bucket, a period item from the 1930s to 1940s, is depicted in a setting that suggests a rural or small-town American context. The artwork's muted color palette and meticulous attention to detail evoke a sense of nostalgia and reverence, transporting viewers to a bygone era. The bucket's religious significance is emphasized by the title, further highlighting the role of faith and spirituality in American life during this period. The "Holy Water Bucket" is an excellent example of the decorative arts and design of the 1930s and 1940s, showcasing the artistic sensibilities of the time. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional craftsmanship and the importance of preserving cultural heritage. This artwork is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts and fine arts, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The Index, established in 1932, documents the visual arts of the United States from the Colonial period to the 1940s, providing valuable insights into the country's artistic and cultural history. The "Holy Water Bucket" by Dana Bartlett is a significant addition to this important collection, offering a unique perspective on American art and history.
