EDITORS COMMENTS
This door knocker, created by American artist Edgar L. Pearce in the mid-20th century, around 1936, showcases the beauty and craftsmanship of the decorative arts during the 1930s and 1940s. The intricately designed door accessory, now a period piece, is a stunning example of functional art that once adorned the entrances of homes in the United States. Pearce's Door Knocker, c. 1936, is a masterful blend of watercolor and graphite on paper, with a floral motif that adds a touch of elegance and charm. The design, inspired by nature, features vibrant, colorful flowers that seem to bloom from the metal surface. The use of metalwork in this piece highlights the artist's exceptional skill and attention to detail. This door knocker is not only a functional object but also a work of art that reflects the artistic trends and cultural heritage of the time. It is a testament to the rich history of American decorative arts and the enduring appeal of floral motifs. The Door Knocker, c. 1936, by Edgar L. Pearce, is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American folk and fine arts, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This iconic piece continues to inspire and captivate audiences, reminding us of the beauty and importance of functional art in our daily lives.
