EDITORS COMMENTS
This work of art, titled "Stern Board, c. 1941," is a testament to the creative vision of American artist Renee A. Monfalcone. Created during the pivotal decades of the 1930s and 1940s, this watercolor graphite and colored pencil on paper piece showcases Monfalcone's exceptional talent in capturing the essence of a bygone era. The Stern Board, a functional nautical object commonly used to steady a boat against the wind or current, serves as the inspiration for this exquisite artwork. Monfalcone's interpretation transcends its utilitarian purpose, transforming it into a decorative and thought-provoking piece. The human face, intricately painted on the stern board, adds a unique and intriguing element to the piece, inviting viewers to ponder its meaning and origin. This stunning artwork is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The National Gallery of Art, a renowned cultural institution, is dedicated to preserving and sharing the artistic heritage of the United States. Monfalcone's "Stern Board, c. 1941" is a valuable addition to the gallery's extensive collection, showcasing the rich artistic history of America during the 20th century. The vibrant blues and colors employed by Monfalcone bring the piece to life, transporting viewers to a time when functional objects were imbued with artistic significance. The wooden stern board, with its weathered texture and worn edges, provides a striking contrast to the intricate and detailed watercolor and colored pencil work. Overall, Renee A. Monfalcone's "Stern Board, c. 1941" is a captivating work of art that bridges the gap between form and function, inviting viewers to explore the depths of American artistic heritage.
