EDITORS COMMENTS
Candlestick" is a captivating graphite drawing on paper by the American artist Rollington Campbell, created in the mid-20th century around 1936. This exquisite work of art is a testament to Campbell's exceptional talent and his ability to bring functional objects to life through art. The drawing depicts a simple yet elegant candlestick, a common household item used for holding candles during the pre-electricity era. The candlestick is rendered with remarkable detail, from the intricately carved base to the delicate curves of the stem and the flared top that holds the candle. The artist's masterful use of graphite creates a stunning contrast between the dark, rich tones of the base and the lighter, more delicate shading on the stem and the candle. This drawing is a prime example of the Decorative Arts movement of the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. It is a period when artists began to focus on the beauty and functionality of everyday objects, elevating them to the level of fine art. The drawing measures approximately 11 x 9 inches (28 x 23 cm) and is a scale drawing, indicating that Campbell paid close attention to the proportions and measurements of the original object. The "Candlestick" drawing is part of the Index of American Design, a collection of over 18,000 drawings and watercolors of American decorative arts held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This important collection documents the cultural and historical significance of American art and design from the colonial period to the mid-20th century. Rollington Campbell's "Candlestick" is a timeless work of art that continues to captivate viewers with its intricate detail, beautiful composition, and historical significance. It is a reminder of the beauty that can be found in the simplest of objects and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage through art.
