Door Pull and Knocker
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating graphite drawing on paperboard created by American artist Jack Staloff in 1936. This intriguing artwork transports us back in time to the 1930s in America, showcasing the unique charm and character of the era. The central focus of the drawing is a beautifully detailed door, complete with an ornate door knocker and a stylized door pull. The door itself appears to be made of metal, its surface textured and worn, reflecting the passage of time and the countless hands that have touched it. The door knocker, in the shape of an abstracted face, is etched with intricate lines and patterns, its eyes and mouth seemingly inviting visitors to announce their presence. The door pull, a simple yet elegant design, curves gracefully around the door, providing a subtle contrast to the boldness of the door knocker. The drawing, a period item from the Index of American Design, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s. The use of graphite on paperboard adds to the artwork's timeless quality, allowing the viewer to appreciate the intricacies of the design up close. The artwork's location in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. makes it accessible to art lovers and history enthusiasts from around the world, providing a glimpse into the past through the lens of a talented American artist. "Door Pull and Knocker" is not only a work of art but also a reflection of the design sensibilities of the time, showcasing the unique blend of functionality and aesthetics that characterized American homeware during the 1930s. This artwork invites us to pause and appreciate the simple beauty of everyday objects, reminding us of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations.
