Swinging Lamp c. 1938

"Swinging Lamp" is a pencil drawing on paper by American artist Roy Weber, created in 1938. The drawing depicts a simple, rustic lamp, likely a design he created himself, with a bowl-shaped metal shade and a swinging arm. The detailed shading and rendering of the metal lamp suggest a focus on the materiality of the object, a common theme in Weber's work. The piece is minimalist in composition and emphasizes a single subject, creating a sense of stillness and introspection.
