EDITORS COMMENTS
This graphite drawing on paperboard, titled "Flat Iron Holder, c. 1940," is an exquisite work of art by American artist Neva Coffey. Dating back to the 1940s, this piece offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of domestic life in America during the forties. The drawing depicts a flat iron holder, a common household appliance used for pressing clothes during the era before the widespread use of electric irons. The holder, made of metal, is shown in a simple yet elegant design, with a flat iron resting on its curved surface. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the texture and form of the iron and the holder, as well as the subtle shading that adds depth and dimension to the piece. The flat iron holder, a humble yet essential item in the laundry room, is elevated to the status of art in Coffey's hands. The drawing invites us to appreciate the beauty and functionality of everyday objects, and to reflect on the ways in which they reflect the social and cultural contexts of their time. This artwork is a testament to the enduring appeal of the past and the importance of preserving the material culture of different eras. It is a valuable addition to any art collection, and a reminder of the rich history of American design and innovation. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is fortunate to have this piece in its impressive Index of American Design, which showcases the diversity and depth of American artistic expression throughout history.
