EDITORS COMMENTS
John Wilkes' Crimping Wheel, created around 1939, is a captivating example of American decorative arts from the 1930s and 1940s. This intricately designed artwork, housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases the beauty and functionality of this period item. The Crimping Wheel, with its wooden base and metal and wood components, was a common tool used during the thirties and forties for crimping edges on various materials, such as dough or fabric. Wilkes masterfully captured the essence of this tool in his watercolor, graphite, and heightening on paperboard artwork. The assortment of crimping wheels, displayed in a decorative arrangement, adds an artistic touch to the functional object. The vibrant colors and detailed textures bring the tool to life, making it a standout piece in any art collection. The index of American Design, a New Deal program that documented and recorded American-made decorative arts and crafts, played a significant role in preserving the heritage of such items. Wilkes' Crimping Wheel is a testament to the rich cultural history of the United States during this era. The location of this artwork in the National Gallery of Art allows visitors to appreciate the beauty and significance of this period piece, which serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of American designers and craftsmen during the 1930s and 1940s.
