EDITORS COMMENTS
Hinge, a captivating work of art created by Earl Butlin in the late 1930s, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in blending functional design with artistic expression. Butlin, an American artist, expertly employed watercolor and graphite on paper to bring this intricate and decorative piece to life. The subject of the artwork is a simple metal hinge, yet Butlin elevated it to an art form, capturing its unique beauty and intricacy. This evocative image transports us back to the 1930s and 1940s, a period of significant change and growth in American history. The hinge, with its aged patina and worn edges, serves as a reminder of the passing of time and the enduring nature of everyday objects. Hinge is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The gallery, a national treasure and cultural institution, is dedicated to preserving and sharing the artistic heritage of the United States. Butlin's artwork invites us to appreciate the functional objects that surround us in a new light, encouraging us to find beauty in the ordinary and to recognize the artistry that lies within. Whether viewed as a standalone piece or as part of a larger collection, Hinge is a testament to the power of art to inspire and delight.
