EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern, created by American artist George H. Alexander in the late 1930s or early 1940s, is a stunning example of functional art from the 20th century. The intricately designed lantern, titled "Lantern" by the artist, showcases the harmonious blend of glass and metal in its construction. The use of watercolor gouache and graphite on paperboard in the creation of this piece adds an additional layer of depth and texture to the artwork. The lantern's design is reminiscent of the era, with its geometric shapes and clean lines reflecting the aesthetic of the 1930s and 1940s. The lantern's body is made of metal, with delicate glass panels adorning its sides. The candles, though not functional in this piece, add to the overall charm and character of the lantern. This beautiful work of art is a period item, belonging to the 20th century and specifically the 1930s and 1940s. It is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of America and the United States of America during this time. The lantern can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it is preserved for future generations to appreciate. The lantern's functional design, with its sturdy metal base and glass panels, speaks to the practicality and ingenuity of the time. Yet, its artistic merit is undeniable, making it a valuable addition to any art center or gallery, decorative arts collection, or personal art collection. This stunning piece by George H. Alexander is a reminder of the beauty and creativity that can be found in the everyday objects of our past.
