EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print by Ernest Capaldo, titled "Printed Textiles, c. 1940," showcases the artist's exceptional talent for capturing the essence of the American spirit during the 1930s and 1940s. The vibrant work of art depicts a serene scene of two riders on horseback, one atop a chestnut horse, the other on a roan, as they traverse a sun-kissed landscape. The background is adorned with intricate patterns of cheetah and leopard prints, adding a sense of exotic allure to the idyllic setting. Capaldo's masterful use of watercolor and graphite on paperboard creates a rich, textured effect that brings the cloth designs to life. The colors are bold and bright, with the pinks and roses of the riders' clothing standing out against the earthy tones of the textiles and the lush greenery of the landscape. The index of American Design, a New Deal program that aimed to document and preserve American decorative arts, acquired this piece in the 1940s. Today, it is part of the prestigious collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. Ernest Capaldo's "Printed Textiles, c. 1940" is a testament to the beauty and creativity of the American artistic tradition during the 20th century. The depiction of the riders on horseback, set against the backdrop of the intricately patterned textiles, is a timeless representation of the American love for the outdoors and the natural world.
