EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative watercolor goauche and graphite on paper rendering of a flatiron, titled "Flatiron" by Alf Bruseth, dates back to the 1930s. The image captures the essence of a bygone era in American history, as the black, metal appliance takes center stage against a plain background. The flatiron, a common household item used for pressing and smoothing clothing before the advent of electric irons, is depicted in intricate detail, with its textured surface and delicate handles. The image is a testament to Bruseth's skill as an artist, as he masterfully captures the play of light and shadow on the flatiron's surface, as well as the subtle variations in color and texture. The use of black and white in the image adds to its timeless quality, transporting us back to a simpler time in American history. The flatiron, a period item from the 1930s and 1940s, is a fascinating representation of the decorative arts and design of the era. Its inclusion in the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. attests to its historical significance. Bruseth's artwork serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage and celebrating the beauty and functionality of everyday objects. This image is not only an attractive addition to any art collection, but also a thought-provoking piece that invites us to reflect on the role of art in documenting and preserving history. Whether displayed in an art center, gallery, or private home, "Flatiron" by Alf Bruseth is sure to be a conversation starter and a source of inspiration for generations to come.
