Window Grille, 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art on paperboard created by the American artist Austin L. Davison during the 1930s. This graphite drawing showcases Davison's exceptional talent for capturing the intricate details of ironwork, specifically a decorative window grille. The image transports us back in time to the United States of the 1930s, a period marked by economic hardship and cultural evolution. The Window Grille, with its intricate lattice design, is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and the country's industrial prowess during this era. The grille's delicate ironwork, adorned with geometric shapes and curved lines, is a visual representation of the concept of decoration as an essential element of art and design. This artwork, now a valuable artifact, was once a common sight in homes and buildings across the United States. The window grille served both functional and aesthetic purposes, allowing light to filter through while adding a layer of elegance and charm to the space. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is fortunate to have this piece as part of its extensive collection, showcasing the Index of American Design. The gallery's acquisition of "Window Grille, 1937" not only adds to its impressive collection of American art but also preserves a piece of the country's cultural history. Austin L. Davison's graphite drawing is a reminder of the beauty and importance of the seemingly mundane objects that surround us. It invites us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating such functional yet decorative items, making it a must-see for anyone interested in American art, design, or history.
