EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate craftsmanship of a Newel Post, created in 1938 by Louis Plogsted. The artist's attention to detail is evident in this stunning piece, which belongs to the Index of American Design collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. The Newel Post stands tall as a symbol of American heritage art, reflecting the artistic sensibilities prevalent during the 1930s. Its design seamlessly blends elements from both traditional and contemporary styles, making it a true testament to Plogsted's creative vision. In this artwork, a female figure proudly holds an arrow and bow while standing atop the staircase. Dressed as an Amazon warrior, she exudes strength and determination. The woman's pose signifies her readiness for war or warfare – a powerful representation of women breaking societal norms during that era. Plogsted masterfully employs watercolor pen and ink along with goauche on paper to bring this scene to life. The color palette chosen adds depth and dimensionality to every stroke, enhancing its overall visual impact. As we gaze upon this remarkable artifact captured through photography, we are transported back in time – immersing ourselves in America's rich cultural history. This image serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and continue inspiring generations with its beauty and significance.
