EDITORS COMMENTS
Candlestick," a captivating work on paper by Janet Riza, dates back to the 1930s, offering a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of America during the 20th century. This graphite drawing of a candlestick, created in 1936, is a testament to Riza's exceptional artistic talent and her ability to bring everyday objects to life through her unique perspective. The candlestick, a common household item, is transformed into a work of art in this intricately detailed drawing. The use of graphite on paper adds depth and texture, making the metal candlestick appear as if it could be reached out and touched. The candlestick's simple yet elegant design is accentuated by the contrast between the dark graphite lines and the lighter background, drawing the viewer's eye to the intricate details of the object. This piece is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s. The project aimed to document and preserve American decorative arts and crafts through drawings and photographs. Riza's "Candlestick" is a valuable contribution to this collection, showcasing the diverse range of American art and design during this period. The candlestick, with its timeless design and classic beauty, continues to be a popular homeware item even today. This drawing by Janet Riza serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our artistic and cultural heritage, and the beauty that can be found in the most ordinary of objects when viewed through the lens of an artist's eye. On display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., "Candlestick" is a must-see for anyone interested in American art, design, or the history of everyday objects. This period piece, created by Riza in 1936, continues to captivate and inspire viewers with its intricate details and timeless appeal.
