EDITORS COMMENTS
This door knocker design, titled "Door Knocker" and created by Columbus Simpson in the year 1936, is a striking representation of American decorative arts from the 1930s. The black-and-white graphite drawing on paper showcases the intricate details of this period item, which was once a common yet cherished homeware accessory in the United States. Columbus Simpson, an accomplished artist of his time, brought his unique vision to life through this elegant and conceptual design. The door knocker, with its geometric shapes and bold lines, exemplifies the artistic and cultural heritage of the 20th century in America. The intricate metalwork, which is not depicted in this drawing but was likely a part of the original design, would have added an additional layer of texture and dimension to this functional yet artistic piece. The "Door Knocker" is a testament to the rich history of American design and the enduring appeal of traditional home decor. This artwork, now a valuable artifact, is a reminder of the importance of preserving the past and the role that art plays in shaping our collective cultural identity. Originally part of the Index of American Design, this drawing is now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the diverse and vibrant history of American art and design during the 1930s.
