EDITORS COMMENTS
Maurice Van Felix's Oil Can, created around 1941, is a captivating work of art that showcases the beauty and functionality of an ordinary object from American history. This graphite drawing on paperboard by the Belgian-American artist depicts an oil can with intricate detail and precision, capturing the essence of the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The oil can, a common sight in American garages and workshops during this period, is elevated to the status of art in Van Felix's hands. The artist's masterful use of graphite creates a stunning representation of the container's shape, texture, and patina, bringing out the unique character of the object. The image is a testament to the artist's ability to find beauty in the mundane and transform it into something extraordinary. This artwork is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project during the Great Depression to document and preserve American decorative arts and folk art. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is home to this significant piece of heritage art, which serves as a reminder of the rich artistic and cultural history of the United States during the 20th century. The Oil Can by Maurice Van Felix is not only a beautiful work of art but also a period item that transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the daily life of Americans during the 1930s and 1940s. This artwork is a must-see for anyone interested in American art, design, and history.
