Andiron (One of Pair), c. 1938
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by the talented American artist, Salvatore Borrazzo. This graphite drawing on paperboard offers a unique and intriguing perspective on a common household object, an andiron, which is one half of a pair designed to support logs in an open fireplace. The image, created during the 1930s or 1940s, showcases Borrazzo's exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The andiron is rendered in graphite, giving it a striking contrast between the dark, intricately detailed metalwork and the pristine, light background. The artist's ability to capture the texture and form of the metalwork is truly remarkable, making it an exquisite example of decorative arts from the 20th century. This piece is a testament to the functional beauty of everyday objects and the artistic potential they hold. Borrazzo's interpretation of the andiron transcends its original purpose, elevating it to the realm of art. The drawing is a fascinating addition to any art collection, particularly those focusing on American art, the 1930s and 1940s, or the decorative arts. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is fortunate to have this work in their esteemed collection, showcasing the rich heritage of American design and the Index of American Design. This andiron is not only a beautiful object in its own right but also a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the artistic creations of our past. In summary, "Andiron (One of Pair), c. 1938" by Salvatore Borrazzo is a stunning graphite drawing that transforms a functional fireplace accessory into a work of art. Its inclusion in the National Gallery of Art's collection is a testament to its significance in American art history.
