Lock, c. 1939 - A Glimpse into America's Artistic Heritage
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Lock" created by Samuel W. Ford in 1939. As a prominent artist of the 20th century, Ford skillfully captured the essence of American culture and design during this transformative era. The image portrays a stunning watercolor graphite and gouache on paperboard composition that beautifully combines color and texture to bring life to an everyday object - a lock. Through his meticulous brushstrokes, Ford transforms this simple artifact into a symbol of craftsmanship and ingenuity. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this piece is part of the renowned Index of American Design collection. It serves as a testament to America's rich artistic heritage, offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical significance. Ford's work invites us to contemplate not only the physicality of locks but also their metaphorical meanings – security, protection, or even confinement. This thought-provoking representation encourages us to reflect upon our own personal experiences with these objects while simultaneously appreciating them as works of art. As we gaze upon "Lock" we are transported back in time to the vibrant thirties in America when innovation was flourishing amidst challenging times. This photograph print allows us to connect with our cultural roots while celebrating Samuel W. Ford's remarkable talent for capturing moments that transcend time itself.
