EDITORS COMMENTS
Mary E Humes' Iron Fence, created in 1936, is a captivating work of art that showcases the beauty and intricacy of ironwork during the 1930s in America. This pen and ink and graphite drawing on paper, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the United States during this period. The Iron Fence, with its sturdy fence posts and intricate ironwork design, stands as a symbol of strength and resilience. The black and white contrast of the drawing highlights the texture and detail of the iron, bringing the fence to life. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to imagine the landscape and community that once surrounded it. As part of the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration, Humes' Iron Fence is an invaluable addition to the National Gallery of Art's collection. This period item serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the artistic and cultural history of the United States. The Iron Fence is not just an object, but a concept that embodies the spirit of the time. It represents the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the American people during the 1930s, a time of great change and innovation. Humes' drawing invites us to appreciate the simple beauty of everyday objects and the stories they hold.
