EDITORS COMMENTS
Maurice Van Felix's captivating artwork, titled "Lock and Key," transports us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s in America. This graphite drawing on paperboard, created by the Belgian-American artist in the late 1930s, showcases the functional beauty of everyday objects with an artistic flair. The image features a lock and key, both prominently displayed against a plain background. The lock, with its intricate key barrel, is depicted in meticulous detail, revealing the complex machinery within. The key, with its simple yet essential design, is poised to unlock the lock, symbolizing the connection and dependence between the two objects. The art piece, now a cherished item in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a testament to the Index of American Design. This initiative, which began in the 1930s, aimed to document and preserve American-made decorative arts and crafts from the colonial period to the mid-twentieth century. Van Felix's "Lock and Key" is a prime example of the functional design aesthetic that emerged during the 1930s and 1940s, a period marked by a renewed appreciation for the artistry and craftsmanship inherent in everyday objects. This artwork continues to inspire and intrigue viewers, offering a glimpse into the past while showcasing the timeless allure of these essential tools.
