EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the intricately hand-carved Tenebrae Candelabra by American artist David P. Willoughby, created around 1936. The candelabra, a masterpiece of the Decorative Arts movement, is a stunning example of functional art that combines beauty and functionality. The multi-colored, hand-carved candelabra is adorned with intricate designs, showcasing Willoughby's exceptional skill in woodcarving. The candelabra's body is made of richly hued, hand-carved wood, with each detail meticulously crafted to perfection. The candelabra's arms curve gracefully, supporting delicate, tapered candlesticks that hold aloft the flickering flames. The Tenebrae Candelabra is a period item that transports us back to the 1930s and 1940s, a time of artistic innovation and experimentation in America. The candelabra's design is reminiscent of the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project during the Great Depression to document and promote American folk art and craftsmanship. This exquisite piece was once on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it captivated visitors with its intricate details and vibrant colors. The candelabra's watercolor, colored pencil, pen and ink, and graphite on paper design adds an additional layer of visual interest, highlighting the artist's mastery of various mediums. The Tenebrae Candelabra is not only a functional lighting device but also a work of art that adds character and charm to any space. Its intricate carvings and multicolored design make it a true treasure of American heritage art, a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of the 20th century.
