EDITORS COMMENTS
Cast and Wrought Iron Gate, c. 1936" is a captivating work of art by American artist Arelia Arbo. This exquisite piece, created during the 1930s or 1940s, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in the decorative arts, specifically in the realm of cast and wrought iron. Arbo's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate design of the gate, which features a harmonious blend of organic and geometric shapes. The gate's cast iron elements exhibit a rich, textured surface, while the wrought iron components display a delicate, sinuous quality. The contrast between the two techniques creates a visually stunning and functional piece that serves as an elegant entranceway. The gate's design is reminiscent of the Art Deco period, with its bold lines and geometric shapes. However, Arbo's use of goauche, graphite, and pen and ink on paper adds a unique, hand-drawn quality to the work, making it a standout piece in the annals of American art. This cast and wrought iron gate, with its timeless beauty and exceptional craftsmanship, is a testament to the artistic heritage of the United States. It is an object of pride and inspiration, and a reminder of the rich cultural history that continues to influence and shape our world. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its collection, where it is preserved for future generations to appreciate and study. The gate serves as an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive database of American decorative arts and crafts from the Colonial period to the 1940s. Whether viewed as a work of art or a functional object, Arbo's Cast and Wrought Iron Gate, c. 1936, is a true treasure that continues to captivate and inspire all who encounter it.
