EDITORS COMMENTS
Rush Holder with Candle Socket" is a captivating work of art created by the American artist Wellington Blewett in the late 1930s. This beautiful watercolor, graphite, and colored pencil drawing on paper showcases Blewett's exceptional artistic abilities and his keen eye for intricate detail. The central focus of the composition is a rustic rush holder with a candle socket, set against a plain background. The holder, made of wood, is adorned with intricate patterns and textures, giving it a unique and textured appearance. The candle socket, with its simple yet elegant design, sits atop the holder, ready to hold a candle alight. The use of color in this piece is sparing but effective, with the warm tones of the wood and the cooler hues of the candle socket creating a harmonious contrast. The graphite and colored pencil details add depth and texture to the piece, making the rush holder appear almost three-dimensional. This artwork is a testament to the beauty and simplicity of everyday objects, and the artist's ability to transform them into works of art. The piece is a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when candlelight was a common source of illumination in American homes. "Rush Holder with Candle Socket" is a significant addition to the decorative arts collection of any art center or gallery, adding to the rich heritage of American art and design. The artwork is a period piece, reflecting the aesthetics and sensibilities of the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is one such institution that would be fortunate to have this piece in its collection, contributing to its impressive index of American design.
