Fence, 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating graphite drawing on paperboard by the American artist Austin L. Davison. This 20th century masterpiece, created during the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the United States through its intricate depiction of an iron fence. The fence, adorned with elaborate ornamentation, stands as a symbol of the decorative arts that flourished in America during this period. The ironwork, with its intricate patterns and delicate curves, showcases the skill and craftsmanship of the artist. The use of graphite on paperboard adds a sense of depth and texture to the piece, making the fence appear almost lifelike. The location of this fence is not explicitly stated, but its presence suggests a rural or suburban setting in the United States. The iron fence serves as a boundary, marking the edge of a property and separating the private from the public realm. Yet, it also invites curiosity and wonder, as the intricate patterns and decorative elements beckon the viewer to explore further. As part of the Index of American Design, "Fence, 1937" is an important artifact in the National Gallery of Art's collection in Washington D.C. It provides a window into the past, offering insights into the design sensibilities and artistic trends of the 1930s in the United States. The fence, with its ironwork and ornamentation, is a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional decorative arts and their role in shaping American culture. Austin L. Davison's "Fence, 1937" is a conceptual piece that transcends its physical form, inviting viewers to contemplate the role of art in preserving and celebrating the heritage of a nation. Whether viewed as a decorative object, a period piece, or a work of art, this graphite drawing continues to captivate and inspire audiences today.
