EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Wrought Iron Balcony Rail, created by American artist Al Curry in 1936, is a captivating example of the intricate and ornate ironwork that defined the decorative arts of the 20th century. The pen and ink drawing on paper, now a precious artifact in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s. Curry's masterful use of wrought iron in this design showcases the versatility and beauty of this metal, which was a popular choice for architectural details during this period. The intricate grille work, with its delicate curves and geometric patterns, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, making it a desirable addition to any home or public space. The Balcony Rail, with its bold lines and strong presence, is a testament to the enduring appeal of this art form. Its timeless design, which transcends the passing of decades, continues to inspire artists and artisans to this day. This period item, now preserved in the National Gallery of Art, serves as an important reminder of the significance of American art and design in the 20th century. The Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration, documented over 18,000 American decorative arts and craft objects, including Curry's Wrought Iron Balcony Rail. This drawing is but one of the many treasures in the National Gallery of Art's vast collection, which continues to enrich our understanding of the country's cultural history.
