EDITORS COMMENTS
This work of art, titled "Tin Wall Sconce, c. 1939" by Luther D. Wenrich, offers a glimpse into the decorative arts of the 1930s and 1940s in America. The watercolor and graphite drawing on paper beautifully renders the intricate details of this functional object, which was a popular design during the period. The Tin Wall Sconce, as the name suggests, is a wall-mounted lighting fixture made of tin. Its simple yet elegant design, with its rounded edges and delicate shadows, exudes an understated charm that was characteristic of the era. The use of candles as the light source adds to the warm, inviting ambiance, making it a desirable addition to any home during the pre-electricity days. Luther D. Wenrich, the creator of this piece, was an American artist known for his contributions to the field of decorative arts. His ability to capture the essence of everyday objects with such precision and artistry is evident in this work. The index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., holds this piece as part of its extensive collection, showcasing the rich heritage of American art and design. The Tin Wall Sconce, with its timeless appeal and functional beauty, serves as a reminder of a bygone era in American history. Its inclusion in the National Gallery of Art's collection is a testament to its significance as a period item and its value as an artistic expression. This drawing invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures and the attention to detail that defined the decorative arts of the 1930s and 1940s in the United States.
