Cast Iron Fence, c. 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pen and ink drawing on paper by American artist Al Curry, showcasing the intricate beauty of a cast iron fence from the 1930s. This period item, now a cherished artefact, transports us back to a time when ornate ironwork was a defining feature of American architecture. The fence, with its elegant curves and geometric patterns, stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and design sensibilities of the era. The cast iron material, once a popular choice for urban infrastructure due to its durability and aesthetic appeal, is rendered in rich, bold lines that bring the texture and weight of the iron to life. The fence, with its tall, ornate gate, serves as an inviting entrance to an unseen location. It could be the entrance to a grand estate, a public park, or an art centre - the mystery only adds to its allure. The fence's intricate patterns and colors, while monochromatic in this drawing, would have originally shone in vibrant hues, adding another layer of visual interest. This drawing, part of the Index of American Design, is a valuable addition to any art or history collection. It encapsulates the essence of American culture during the 1930s, a time of innovation, heritage, and a distinct design aesthetic. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where this drawing is housed, is a fitting home for this piece of American art, as it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the country's rich artistic heritage. In summary, "Cast Iron Fence, c. 1936" is a stunning work of art that invites us to appreciate the intricacies of cast iron design during the 1930s, while also serving as a window into American history and culture.
