EDITORS COMMENTS
This door knocker design, titled "Door Knocker" by American artist William L. Antrim, dates back to the 1930s. The intricate work of art, created in watercolour and graphite on paperboard, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in blending mythology and decorative arts. Antrim's creation transports us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s in the United States, a period marked by artistic innovation and cultural evolution. The door knocker depicts a mythical beast, a sphinx, with the body of a lion and the head of a human. This enigmatic creature, often associated with ancient Egyptian mythology, is a common motif in art and literature. Antrim's interpretation, however, adds a unique American touch to the timeless mythological creature. The door knocker, with its vibrant colours and intricate details, would have once adorned the entrance of a grand home, adding an air of mystery and allure. Today, it is a cherished piece of heritage art, showcased in prestigious galleries and museums, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. Antrim's "Door Knocker" is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States, and a reminder of the beauty and intrigue that can be found in the most unexpected places. This decorative art piece, with its mythical beast and vibrant colours, continues to inspire and captivate audiences, making it a must-see for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
