EDITORS COMMENTS

Created during the vibrant era of the 1930s and 1940s in America, this piece is a testament to Makrenos' talent as an artist. The image depicts a boot jack or boot puller, meticulously designed and crafted by hand. Made from wrought iron, this functional object not only served its purpose but also exuded artistic beauty with its intricate details and elegant form. Makrenos skillfully captured the essence of rural life in mid-20th century America through his use of color and composition. The watercolor gouache technique adds depth and vibrancy to the artwork while graphite enhances its fine detailing.
