EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative oil lamp design by Alvin J. Doria, created around 1940, transports us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s in America. The intricately detailed watercolor pen and ink and goauche on paper drawing showcases Doria's exceptional skill as a decorative artist. The lamp, with its elegant metal base and colorful, swirling flames, exudes a warm and inviting glow, making it a functional piece of art as much as a lighting fixture. Doria's Oil Lamp is a testament to the rich heritage of American design during the 20th century. The lamp's period charm is particularly noteworthy, as it embodies the aesthetic sensibilities of the 1930s and 1940s, a time when functional objects were often imbued with artistic merit. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is fortunate to have this exquisite piece in its collection, which is now accessible to visitors from around the world. The Oil Lamp, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, serves as an index of American design and a reminder of the country's rich artistic heritage. As we gaze at this beautiful work of art, we can almost hear the gentle hiss of the oil and the soft flicker of the flame, transporting us to a simpler time. The Oil Lamp by Alvin J. Doria is not just a decorative item, but a piece of history that continues to captivate and inspire.
