EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor and graphite rendering on paperboard by Marcus Moran, titled "Lamp, c. 1936," transports us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s in America. The golden, ornamental lamp base, adorned with intricate blue and gold patterns, stands proudly against a plain background, inviting us to appreciate its beauty and craftsmanship in isolation. The lamp, a functional yet decorative piece of art, is a testament to the rich heritage of American design during this period. Moran's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the way he captures the subtle nuances of the lamp's design, from the delicate lines of the base to the warm, inviting glow of the oil lamp at its top. The use of watercolor and graphite adds depth and texture to the image, making it a captivating piece of art in its own right. The "Lamp, c. 1936" is a standout piece from the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s and 1940s to document American decorative arts and crafts. This artwork is now part of the permanent collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. Whether you're an art enthusiast, a historian, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of well-designed objects, this image of Marcus Moran's "Lamp, c. 1936" is sure to captivate and transport you to a bygone era.
