EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Whale Oil Peg Lamp and Stand, a design masterpiece created by American artist Neva Coffey in the 1940s. The image, captured in the halls of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., transports us back in time to an era of functional art and mid-century modern design. The Whale Oil Peg Lamp and Stand is a unique fusion of art and utility, a testament to the creative spirit of the 1940s. The lamp, made of metal and adorned with graphite on paper, stands proudly on a wooden stand. Its body is filled with whale oil, a nod to the past when whale oil was the primary source of lighting. The use of this traditional material adds an intriguing layer of history and cultural significance to the piece. The lamp's design is both simple and elegant, with a series of pegs that hold the wicks in place. The warm, inviting glow of the lamp casts a soft light, creating an intimate and cozy atmosphere. The lamp's design is a perfect example of the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project during the Great Depression to document and record American-made decorative arts. The Whale Oil Peg Lamp and Stand by Neva Coffey is not just an object, but a piece of American heritage art. It tells a story of a bygone era, a time when art and functionality were intertwined, and creativity was a source of comfort and inspiration. This photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our cultural heritage, and the role that art plays in shaping our collective memory.
