EDITORS COMMENTS
Herndon Hightower's Iron Kettle, created around 1939, is a stunning example of American decorative arts from the 1930s and 1940s. This intricately detailed watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink drawing on paper captures the essence of a functional, three-legged iron kettle, a common kitchen appliance during this period in American history. The kettle, with its rustic charm, is depicted in rich colors and bold lines, highlighting the beauty and heritage value of this simple yet essential item. Herndon Hightower's artistry brings the iron kettle to life, capturing its unique character and the patina of age. The kettle's three legs are sturdily depicted, with each one resting on a slightly different surface, adding to the sense of stability and durability. The kettle's spout and handle are also rendered with great attention to detail, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing the textures and forms of the metal. This drawing is a testament to the importance of functional objects in American art and design history. It is a reminder of the beauty and value that can be found in everyday items, and the role they play in shaping our cultural heritage. The Iron Kettle by Herndon Hightower is a treasured piece in the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. This artwork is not only a visual delight but also a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the past and the everyday life of Americans during the 1930s and 1940s.
