EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative artwork by Ralph Atkinson, titled "Economy Square Oil Lantern," transports us back to the 1930s and 1940s in America. The image captures a handheld oil lantern, its grey, squared shape illuminated by a warm, yellow glow. The lantern, with its intricate design elements and delicate handle, exudes a sense of nostalgia and heritage. Atkinson masterfully employed watercolour and graphite on paperboard to create this stunning piece. The oil lantern, a common household item during the 1930s and 1940s, was often used for table lighting in rural areas and colonies. Its simple yet functional design was a staple in many American households during this period. The Economy Square Oil Lantern is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the American people during the Depression and World War II eras. The lantern's grey colour and squared shape reflect the monochromatic palette and geometric aesthetics that were popular during this time. This artwork is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts held by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The Index of American Design is a significant resource for scholars and enthusiasts of American art and design history. Ralph Atkinson's Economy Square Oil Lantern is a beautiful and evocative piece that transports us back in time and offers a glimpse into the past. Its intricate details and warm glow remind us of the simple pleasures and the resilience of the American spirit during a challenging time in history.
