EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Whale Oil Lamp, created by the talented artist Cora Parker in 1938. The lamp itself is an exquisite example of American art from the 20th century, reflecting the cultural and design influences of that era. The image captures the delicate details of this historical artifact, highlighting its unique shape and intricate craftsmanship. The graphite tones add a sense of nostalgia to the composition, evoking memories of a bygone era. Displayed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this piece is part of the Index of American Design collection. It serves as a testament to America's rich artistic heritage and offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical significance. Parker's use of watercolor on paper further enhances the lamp's elegance, creating subtle shades that bring depth to each stroke. The soft greys blend harmoniously with the overall composition, enhancing its timeless appeal. As we gaze upon this whale oil lamp through Cora Parker's lens, we are transported back to a time when such lamps illuminated homes across America. This artwork invites us to reflect on our country's past while appreciating it as an enduring symbol of creativity and innovation.
