EDITORS COMMENTS
Cast Iron Fence Railing, c. 1936" is a captivating work of art on paper by the American artist Ray Price. This pen and ink drawing, created in the 1930s, showcases the intricate beauty of a cast iron fence railing from an unspecified location in the United States. The image transports us back in time to the era of the Thirties, a period marked by the Great Depression and the rise of Art Deco design. The fence railing, with its ornate acorn motif, is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and craftsmanship. The cast iron material, a common choice for durability and elegance in the early 20th century, is depicted in crisp detail, with the texture and pattern of the ironwork brought to life through Price's skilled hand. The fence railing is shown in its entirety, from the intricately designed top, adorned with acorns and nuts, to the sturdy base that anchors it to the ground. The fence gate, also depicted, adds to the sense of entry and invitation, as if beckoning us to step through and explore the mystery that lies beyond. This drawing is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts held by the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. It is a period item that offers a glimpse into the past, a time when intricate ironwork was a symbol of American pride and craftsmanship. Price's "Cast Iron Fence Railing, c. 1936" is not only a work of art but also a valuable historical artifact, a reminder of a bygone era and a testament to the enduring beauty of American design.
