EDITORS COMMENTS
This work of art, titled "Door Handle, 1935/1942," is a testament to the creative vision of American artist Richard Barnett. Created during the 1930s and 1940s, this watercolour and graphite drawing on paperboard showcases Barnett's exceptional ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. The image depicts an intricately detailed door handle, its sleek, black form contrasting sharply against the pristine white background. The handle's smooth, glossy surface reflects the artist's meticulous attention to detail, while the delicate graphite lines add depth and texture to the piece. Despite being created during two significant decades in American history - the Great Depression and World War II - Barnett's work remains untouched by the turmoil of the times. Instead, he focuses on the beauty and elegance of everyday objects, elevating them to the realm of art. This piece is a prime example of the Decorative Arts movement, which emphasized the importance of functional objects as works of art in their own right. The Door Handle is a period item that would have been at home in any well-appointed American household during the 1930s and 1940s. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is privileged to house this remarkable work in its esteemed collection. The Gallery's Index of American Design, which includes over 18,000 drawings and watercolors of American decorative arts and folk art, is home to this and many other works by Richard Barnett. This image is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States, and a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place.
