EDITORS COMMENTS
This door knocker, created by American artist Christopher Hobbs in the mid-20th century, around 1936, showcases the artist's exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to the decorative arts. The intricately designed piece, titled "Door Knocker," is a testament to the artist's ability to bring life and character to functional objects. Hobbs, an accomplished artist known for his watercolor and graphite works, infused this door knocker with a sense of dynamism and energy through the use of bold lines and vibrant colors. The central motif of the piece is an eagle, a powerful and iconic symbol of the United States. The eagle's wings are spread wide, as if ready to take flight, while its sharp, piercing gaze adds an air of intensity and alertness. This door knocker, a product of the 1930s and 1940s, is a prime example of the rich artistic heritage of the United States during this period. It is a reflection of the country's love for nature, its appreciation for functional design, and its commitment to preserving the traditions of decorative arts. The Door Knocker is currently housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it is part of the Index of American Design. This collection, established in the 1940s, documents and preserves American decorative arts and design from the colonial period to the present day. With its striking design and beautiful execution, this door knocker by Christopher Hobbs continues to captivate and inspire, serving as a reminder of the enduring beauty and importance of American art and design.
