EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative work of art, titled "Gate for Cemetery Plot," was created by American artist Austin L. Davison in 1937. The image captures the intricate design of an iron gate, which serves as the entrance to a cemetery. The gate is adorned with ornate ironwork, featuring an angel figure at its center, surrounded by intricate patterns and scrolls. The graphite on paperboard medium gives the artwork a delicate and ethereal quality, contrasting with the robust and sturdy iron gate it depicts. The gate stands as a symbol of the intersection of life and death, serving as both a way in and a way out. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of heritage and the role that art and culture play in preserving the history and traditions of a community. This piece is a testament to the artistic talent and creativity that flourished in the United States during the 1930s. The gate is located in a cemetery, adding to its somber and introspective atmosphere. The religious connotations of the angel figure and the cemetery setting further emphasize the gate's role as a threshold between the physical world and the spiritual realm. The gate is a period item, reflecting the design sensibilities and artistic trends of the time. This artwork is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts, maintained by the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American Art, now known as the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The collection documents the visual arts of the United States from the colonial period to the present day, and includes a wide range of media and styles. This gate for cemetery plot by Austin L. Davison is a significant addition to the collection, showcasing the beauty and depth of American art and design during the 20th century.
