EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen and ink drawing by Lucien Verbeke showcases a City Gas Light Bracket from the 1930s, an intricate and ornamental piece of metalwork that once graced the streets of American cities during the 20th century. The bracket, dating back to the 1930s and 1940s, is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and design sensibilities of the era. Verbeke's meticulous rendering highlights the bracket's decorative elements, including its intricate ironwork and colorful patina. The bracket's historic significance is further emphasized by its association with the City Gas industry, which was a major provider of energy during the pre-electricity era in the United States. This piece, now a cherished item in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is an important addition to the Index of American Design. It serves as a visual index of American history, culture, and design, providing a glimpse into a bygone era. The City Gas Light Bracket is not only a decorative object, but also a symbol of the country's industrial heritage. Lucien Verbeke's drawing offers a unique perspective on this historic artifact, inviting viewers to appreciate its beauty and historical significance. The bracket's elegant form and intricate details make it a standout piece of decorative art, and a reminder of the rich design traditions that have shaped American visual culture.
