Wishing Gates, c. 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by the renowned Belgian-American artist Lucien Verbeke. This exquisite pen and ink and watercolour drawing on paper transports us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s in America. The image showcases a pair of intricately designed iron gates, aptly named "Wishing Gates," which once graced an entrance to a private estate or perhaps an elegant country home. Verbeke's masterful use of colour and ornamentation brings these gates to life, revealing the rich heritage and craftsmanship of the Decorative Arts period. The gates, adorned with delicate floral motifs and geometric patterns, exude an air of sophistication and charm. The ironwork, with its sinuous curves and precise lines, displays the artist's exceptional skill and attention to detail. The gates, reminiscent of a bygone era, stand as a testament to the enduring allure of traditional design. They serve as a way in, not only to a physical location but also to a time when artisanship and beauty were highly valued. This evocative piece, part of the Index of American Design, is now housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors. The "Wishing Gates" are a striking reminder of the beauty and elegance of the past and the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place.
