EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning graphite on paperboard print captures the essence of American design in the 1930s and 1940s with a detailed depiction of an andiron, one of a pair created by Maurice Van Felix. The andiron, also known as a firedog, is a functional yet ornamental household appliance used to support logs in a fireplace.
Maurice Van Felix's attention to detail is evident in this piece, showcasing his skill in capturing the intricate design of this period item. The andiron exudes elegance and sophistication, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of mid-20th century America.
Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, this artwork is part of the Index of American Design collection, highlighting important pieces from American heritage art. The color palette chosen by Van Felix adds depth and dimension to the piece, bringing it to life for viewers to appreciate.
As you gaze upon this print, you can almost feel the warmth emanating from a crackling fire in a cozy country home. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when craftsmanship was valued and everyday objects were designed with both functionality and beauty in mind. Maurice Van Felix's work continues to be celebrated for its contribution to American decorative arts during this iconic era.
