Cast Iron Figure, 1935/1942
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by the American artist Eugene Barrell. This masterpiece, created during the 1930s and completed in the early 1940s, is a testament to Barrell's exceptional craftsmanship and artistic vision. The figure, cast in iron, stands tall and proud, exuding a sense of strength and resilience. The graphite on paperboard drawing of the figure provides an intriguing contrast to the solid, heavy material from which it was made. Barrell's Cast Iron Figure is a unique blend of function and art. Although it is a decorative object, its form and design suggest a deeper conceptual significance. The figure's robust and sturdy appearance speaks to the enduring spirit of the United States during a time of economic hardship and global conflict. The figure's masculine form and imposing presence evoke a sense of power and determination, making it a fitting representation of the American spirit. The Cast Iron Figure is an important part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts from the Colonial period to the 1940s. This work is now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The figure's rich heritage and historical significance make it a must-see for anyone interested in American art and the decorative arts of the 20th century. Eugene Barrell's Cast Iron Figure is a true masterpiece, a work of art that transcends its material form and speaks to the deeper cultural and historical context of its time. Its presence in the National Gallery of Art is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the artistic heritage of the United States.
