EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning tall clock, created by American artist Frank Wenger in approximately 1937, showcases the beauty and craftsmanship of the Decade of Depression and the onset of World War II. The clock, a period item from the 1930s and 1940s, is a testament to the enduring appeal of functional art. Frank Wenger, an accomplished artist known for his hand-carved wooden furniture and decorative arts, brought this timepiece to life through intricate carving and the use of rich, warm browns. The clock's tall, slender form is adorned with elaborate geometric patterns and delicate floral motifs, making it a captivating work of art as much as a timepiece. The clock's design is reminiscent of the traditional grandfather clock, a staple of American homes during this era. However, Wenger's unique interpretation adds a modern touch with the use of watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite on paperboard, resulting in a visually striking and dynamic piece. This Tall Clock by Frank Wenger is a cherished addition to the decorative arts collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the heritage art of the United States and the role it plays in shaping our cultural identity. The clock's intricate carvings and vibrant colors continue to captivate viewers, making it a timeless treasure in the world of art and design.
