EDITORS COMMENTS
This graphite on paper drawing by Julius Bellamy, titled "Flat Iron Holder, c. 1940," offers a glimpse into the rich history of American domestic life during the 1930s and 1940s. The intricately detailed rendering showcases Bellamy's exceptional craftsmanship and artistic flair, capturing the essence of a functional yet decorative object that was once a staple in many American households. The flat iron holder, a design essential for pressing clothes before the advent of electric irons, is depicted in this drawing with remarkable precision. The holder's elegant form, with its curved metal arms cradling the flat iron in place, is presented in beautiful detail. The artist's use of graphite allows for an exquisite play of light and shadow, enhancing the object's textured surface and bringing it to life. Measuring approximately 11 x 8 inches, this scale drawing is a testament to Bellamy's mastery of the medium. It is a captivating addition to any collection of decorative arts or Americana, and a thoughtful representation of the country's heritage. The drawing is currently housed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., as part of the Index of American Design. Bellamy's "Flat Iron Holder, c. 1940" serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when household appliances were not only functional tools but also works of art in their own right. This drawing invites us to appreciate the beauty and significance of everyday objects, and to celebrate the artistry and creativity that lies within the ordinary.
