EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Whale Oil Lamp Filler, created by the talented artist Harry King in 1939. The lamp filler, an essential tool for lighting during the era, is beautifully depicted in watercolor graphite and colored pencil on paperboard. The artwork transports us back to 1930s America, capturing a moment in time when whale oil was commonly used as fuel for lamps. This artifact not only represents a significant part of American culture but also reflects the ingenuity and design sensibilities of that period. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this piece is part of the Index of American Design collection. It serves as a testament to King's artistic prowess and his dedication to preserving historical artifacts through his art. The composition highlights every intricate detail of the lamp filler's design - from its elegant bottle shape to its functional spout. The use of color adds depth and vibrancy to this otherwise utilitarian object. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of how art can capture both beauty and functionality simultaneously. Through Harry King's skillful rendering, we gain insight into an important aspect of American history while appreciating the artistic value inherent in everyday objects.
