EDITORS COMMENTS
Candlestick," a captivating work of art by Benjamin Resnick, dates back to the 1930s and offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of American decorative arts. This stunning piece, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to Resnick's exceptional skill as a woodcarver and his unique artistic vision. The candlestick, crafted from intricately carved wood, stands as a symbol of American craftsmanship during the 1930s and 1940s. Its colorful and unusual design sets it apart from traditional candlesticks, with its multiple branches and abstract shapes that seem to dance and intertwine. The wood's natural grain shines through the carving, adding an organic element to the piece. Resnick's "Candlestick" is not just a functional object but a work of art in its own right. The artist's use of watercolor and graphite on paper to create the design before carving it into wood adds an additional layer of complexity to the piece. The result is a harmonious blend of color and form that invites the viewer to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship involved in its creation. As part of the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project during the Great Depression, "Candlestick" is an essential addition to the National Gallery of Art's collection. It serves as a reminder of the period's unique artistic sensibilities and the enduring legacy of American artists like Benjamin Resnick. This beautiful and intriguing piece of art, with its unusual design and rich history, continues to captivate and inspire viewers, making it a must-see for anyone interested in American art and decorative arts from the 20th century.
