EDITORS COMMENTS
Candlestick," a graphite on paper drawing by American artist Eugene Barrell, dates back to the 1930s, showcasing the artist's exceptional talent for capturing intricate details and forms. This exquisite work of art, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., offers a glimpse into the rich decorative arts scene of the United States during the 20th century. The candlestick, a functional object commonly used for holding and illuminating candles, is depicted in this meticulous scale drawing with remarkable precision. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the delicate rendering of the candlestick's curved arms, intricately textured surface, and the subtle yet expressive shading that brings the object to life. Measuring approximately 11 x 15 inches (28 x 38 cm), this drawing is a testament to Barrell's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a simple yet essential object. The candlestick, a common household item, is elevated to the realm of art through Barrell's masterful representation. This drawing, created during the 1930s and 1940s, is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts held by the Smithsonian American Art Museum and Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. The Index of American Design is an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of American art and design, providing a comprehensive record of the country's artistic heritage. The candlestick drawing by Eugene Barrell is a captivating example of the functional art that emerged during the 1930s and 1940s, a period of innovation and experimentation in American art. Its inclusion in the National Gallery of Art's collection is a testament to its enduring significance and its role in shaping the artistic landscape of the United States.
