Door Knocker
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art created by American artist William L. Antrim in approximately 1937. This stunning piece, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. Antrim's "Door Knocker" is a watercolor and gouache on paperboard, measuring an impressive 11 1/2 x 15 1/2 inches. The artwork depicts a decorative door knocker in the shape of a stylized initial "W," its intricate design reminiscent of both Art Deco and Art Moderne styles popular during the period. The initial is adorned with geometric patterns, floral motifs, and a series of concentric circles, all rendered in vibrant colors that seem to leap off the page. The door knocker appears to be set against a plain, monochromatic background, allowing the intricacy and beauty of its design to take center stage. Antrim's masterful use of color and texture adds depth and dimension to the piece, making it a standout addition to any art collection. The "Door Knocker" is an important work in the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts from the Colonial period to the mid-twentieth century. It is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage that exists within the United States and the importance of preserving and celebrating these works for future generations. Whether viewed in person at the National Gallery of Art or as a print, Antrim's "Door Knocker" is a captivating work of art that continues to inspire and delight. Its intricate design, vibrant colors, and historical significance make it a must-see for anyone interested in American art, decorative arts, or the history of the 1930s and 1940s.
