EDITORS COMMENTS
Andiron (One of Pair)," a captivating graphite drawing on paperboard by Maurice Van Felix, transports us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s in America. This exquisite piece of art, created by Van Felix in 1938, showcases the intricate design of a single andiron from a fireplace. The andiron, a functional yet decorative component of a fireplace, is depicted with remarkable detail, from the curved legs to the intricate patterns etched into its surface. The andiron's traditional design, with its sturdy construction and ornate details, reflects the heritage and craftsmanship of the era. The use of graphite on paperboard adds a sense of warmth and depth to the drawing, making the andiron appear almost three-dimensional. This artwork is a testament to the beauty and functionality of domestic appliances during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The andiron, a common household item, is often overlooked in the realm of fine art, but Van Felix elevates it to a work of art through his skillful rendering. The Andiron (One of Pair) is a significant addition to any art collection, particularly those focusing on the Index of American Design or the decorative arts of the 20th century. Its historical significance, combined with its aesthetic appeal, makes it a valuable piece for art galleries and museums, such as the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it could be displayed alongside other period items and serve as a reminder of the rich heritage of American design. This drawing by Maurice Van Felix invites us to appreciate the beauty and functionality of everyday objects, as well as the artistry and skill of the artist who brought them to life on paper.
