EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Door Handle" by Maurice Van Felix, dates back to the 1930s, specifically around 1938. The American artist, Maurice Van Felix, masterfully captured the essence of functional art in this graphite drawing on paperboard. The door handle, a seemingly mundane object, becomes a work of art in Van Felix's skilled hands. The intricate details of the door handle's design are brought to life through the artist's meticulous use of graphite, showcasing the beauty and elegance often hidden in everyday items. The door handle, with its curved lines and geometric shapes, exudes a sense of timelessness and sophistication. The contrast between the smooth, dark graphite and the textured, raised metal latch adds depth and dimension to the drawing. This piece is a testament to the artist's ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. The "Door Handle" is a significant addition to the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project, which aimed to document and preserve American decorative arts and crafts from the colonial period to the present day. This drawing is not only an important historical artifact but also a visual representation of the artistic and cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is home to this remarkable piece, showcasing it as part of their extensive collection. The "Door Handle" by Maurice Van Felix is a reminder of the beauty and importance of functional art and the role it plays in our daily lives. This drawing invites us to slow down and appreciate the world around us, discovering the art in the most unexpected places.
