EDITORS COMMENTS
Wayne White's Lard Lamp (c. 1940) is a captivating example of American folk art from the 1930s and 1940s. This unique and functional object, created by White during this period, showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the time. The Lard Lamp, made primarily of tin, is a testament to the creativity that emerged from the necessity of making do with limited resources. The lamp's design is both decorative and functional, featuring intricate geometric patterns and a bold color palette. The use of watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink on paperboard in the creation of this artwork adds an additional layer of visual interest. The Lard Lamp's name comes from its original purpose - to melt lard or other fats for cooking. The lamp's base is shaped like a large, flat tin can, with a wick and taper holder at the top. The lamp's body is adorned with intricate designs and patterns, making it a work of art as much as it is a functional object. This piece is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, showcasing the rich heritage of American folk art and the creativity that emerged during the 1930s and 1940s. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is proud to have this piece in its collection, indexed under the Index of American Design. The Lard Lamp is a reminder of a bygone era, a time when resourcefulness and creativity were essential for daily life, and a testament to the enduring power of art to inspire and delight.
