EDITORS COMMENTS
This Wall Bracket Candleholder, designed by American artist Richard Barnett around 1938, showcases the elegance and sophistication of mid-century modern design. The intricately detailed drawing, executed in watercolour pen and ink and graphite on paperboard, offers a glimpse into Barnett's artistic vision. The candleholder, with its distinctive wall-mounted design, is a testament to the artist's ability to blend form and function in a visually striking manner. The Wall Bracket Candleholder is an excellent representation of the decorative arts of the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. Its sleek, minimalist aesthetic was popular during this period, reflecting the cultural shift towards modernity and the rejection of ornate, traditional designs. The use of metal in the candleholder adds an industrial edge, while the absence of colour heightens the focus on the intricate lines and shapes. Barnett's Wall Bracket Candleholder is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive database of American decorative arts from the Colonial period to the 1940s. This important work is now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world. Whether displayed in a contemporary art centre or a traditional art gallery, this period piece remains a captivating addition to any collection of American art. Its timeless design and rich heritage make it a must-have for those with an appreciation for the decorative arts and the history of American design.
