Padlock, c. 1941 - A Glimpse into American Security
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print titled "Padlock, c. 1941". LeRoy Griffith takes us back to a defining era in American history. This close-up view of a padlock serves as a powerful symbol of security and protection during the tumultuous 1940s. With meticulous detail, Griffith's pen and ink drawing showcases the intricate craftsmanship of this everyday object. The lock's sturdy construction is evident through his use of watercolor graphite and delicate shading techniques, highlighting its robustness against any potential threat. As we examine this artwork, we are transported to an America grappling with uncertainty on both domestic and international fronts. The forties were marked by World War II, where national unity was paramount for survival. This padlock represents the country's determination to safeguard its citizens' well-being amidst chaos. Griffith skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the conceptual significance behind this humble yet essential item. Its key embodies access control - granting entry or denying passage based on trustworthiness or authority. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , "Padlock" stands as a testament to our nation's heritage art collection – preserving moments that shaped our identity as Americans. Through Griffith's masterful portrayal, viewers can reflect upon their own notions of security while appreciating the artistic beauty found within ordinary objects that often go unnoticed in daily life.
