Whirligig 1935 - 1942

"Whirligig", a watercolor by Yolande Delasser, created between 1935 and 1942, depicts a stylized wooden figure with outstretched arms and a whimsical, almost childlike quality. The figure is painted in muted browns, reds, and whites, evoking a sense of folk art or naive painting. Delasser's work often drew inspiration from traditional craft objects, highlighting their inherent beauty and symbolic value. This work, capturing the essence of a traditional toy, speaks to themes of play, simplicity, and the enduring power of human creativity. The simple, yet expressive lines and vibrant colors contribute to the artwork's charming and nostalgic feel.
