Three Door Latches c. 1938

"Three Door Latches" (c. 1938) by Al Curry (1855-1995) depicts three detailed drawings of door latches, a common subject for the artist. The precise rendering of the metalwork and their simplified arrangement create a striking still life. The artwork's small scale and intimate subject matter reflect a focus on everyday objects, making it a perfect example of Curry's meticulous style. This watercolor is part of a larger body of work exploring the artist's fascination with everyday objects and the beauty found in the ordinary.
