EDITORS COMMENTS
Cast Iron Railing, c. 1936" is a captivating work of art by the renowned Belgian-American artist Lucien Verbeke. This exquisite watercolor and graphite drawing on paper takes us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s in America. The image showcases an intricately designed cast iron railing, a functional yet decorative architectural feature that was common in buildings during this period. The railing is depicted against a plain background, allowing the intricate details of the ironwork to take center stage. The railing's black color stands out boldly against the white paper, creating a striking contrast. The grapevines and leaves entwined in the ironwork add a touch of nature to the urban setting, making the railing a beautiful blend of functionality and art. Verbeke's attention to detail is evident in the way he has captured the texture and form of the cast iron. The railing's curves and lines are rendered with precision, making it a true testament to the artist's skill. The use of watercolor and graphite adds depth and dimension to the drawing, making it a visually engaging piece. This work of art is a significant addition to the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s and 1940s. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. houses this precious piece in its collection, making it accessible for art enthusiasts and scholars to appreciate the beauty and historical significance of this cast iron railing. Overall, "Cast Iron Railing, c. 1936" is a beautiful and intriguing piece of art that transports us back in time to a bygone era. It is a testament to Lucien Verbeke's artistic talent and his ability to capture the essence of a period in American history through his art.
