EDITORS COMMENTS
This graphite drawing on paperboard, titled "Flat Iron Holder, c. 1940" by American artist Neva Coffey, transports us back in time to the heart of the American home during the 1940s. The image showcases a simple yet elegant flat iron holder, a quintessential household appliance of the era. With its sleek, minimalist design, the holder stands proudly against a plain background, its metal form contrasting beautifully with the soft, monochromatic tones of the drawing. The flat iron holder, a humble yet essential item for pressing clothes, was a common sight in American households during the 1940s. This drawing, however, elevates the mundane to the realm of art, highlighting the beauty and significance of everyday objects in our lives. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and her ability to capture the essence of the object in its most simple form make this a truly remarkable piece. The flat iron holder, with its sturdy base and slender arms, cradles the iron securely, ready for use. The iron, not depicted in this drawing, was a crucial tool for the laundry process, and the holder ensured that it was kept safe and easily accessible. This drawing is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of American design during the 1940s, a time when functional objects were not only practical but also aesthetically pleasing. This artwork, a part of the Index of American Design, is a treasure trove of American cultural heritage. It invites us to reflect on the importance of the past and the role that everyday objects play in shaping our lives and our history. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is fortunate to have this piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and design of a bygone era.
