EDITORS COMMENTS
This wrought iron ornament, created by American artist Arelia Arbo in the mid-20th century around 1936, showcases the intricate craftsmanship and artistic vision of the Decorative Arts movement during the 1930s and 1940s. Arbo's masterpiece is a stunning representation of the functional beauty of wrought iron, with its delicate curves and precise lines. The ornament, rendered in pen and ink and gouache on paper, is an index of American Design, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the United States. The image depicts a wrought iron ornament in the shape of a steeple, reminiscent of the iconic church steeples found throughout the country. The use of the cross within the design adds a religious connotation, reflecting the deep-rooted influence of Christianity in American society during this period. The ornament's intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the concept of functional art, where form and function are harmoniously combined. Arbo's work is a testament to the enduring appeal of wrought iron as a medium for artistic expression. This piece, now part of the collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of American art, the Decorative Arts movement, or the evolution of wrought iron as an art form. The ornament's timeless beauty and intricate design make it a standout addition to any art center or gallery, and a cherished piece of American heritage.
