EDITORS COMMENTS
Hurricane Shade and Candlestick," a captivating work of art by American artist Henry Meyers, dates back to the 1930s. This masterpiece, created in the midst of the Great Depression, showcases the ingenuity and artistic flair of the era. The composition features a hurricane shade and candlestick, two essential homeware items that were popular during this time. Meyers, an accomplished artist, employed graphite and watercolor on paperboard to bring this design to life. The use of these traditional media adds a touch of nostalgia and charm to the piece. The shade and candlestick are depicted in vivid detail, with the glass and metal elements of the hurricane lamp and the intricate design of the candlestick both captured with remarkable precision. The hurricane shade, a common household item during the 1930s, was designed to protect candles from being extinguished by drafts or wind. The candlestick, a classic design, adds an elegant touch to any table setting. In this artwork, the shade and candlestick are presented as a harmonious duo, a testament to the functional beauty of American design during this period. This piece is a prime example of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive documentation of American decorative arts, which was initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., holds this valuable artwork in its collection, making it an important part of the country's cultural heritage. The hurricane shade and candlestick, with their timeless design and historical significance, continue to captivate viewers and serve as a reminder of the rich artistic and design traditions of the United States in the 20th century.
