EDITORS COMMENTS
Cast Iron Balcony Rail, c. 1936" is a captivating work of art on paper by the American artist Ray Price. This pen and ink drawing, created in the heart of the 1930s, showcases the intricate beauty and craftsmanship of cast iron balcony rails that were once a common sight in the United States. The image transports us back in time to an era when ornate ironwork was a cherished decorative element in both residential and commercial architecture. The delicate lines and precise shading in Price's drawing reveal the artist's meticulous attention to detail, as he captures the sinuous curves and intricate patterns that define cast iron balcony rails. The cast iron railing in this drawing is depicted in rich, bold colors, with deep shadows and highlights that bring out the textured surface of the iron. The railing's design is reminiscent of the Art Deco style that was popular during the 1930s, with its geometric shapes and stylized motifs. This drawing is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive record of American decorative arts and design produced between 1600 and 1875. However, Price's work stands out as a unique contribution to the 20th-century American art scene, showcasing the enduring appeal of cast iron as a material and the artistry of its craftsmanship. Today, "Cast Iron Balcony Rail, c. 1936" is a cherished piece in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage of American art and design, and the importance of preserving and celebrating the beauty of the past.
