EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Hose Holder" by Elmer G. Anderson, dates back to the 1930s, specifically around 1937. The image showcases a wooden hose holder bracket, adorned with intricate multi-colored insignia, designed to secure a fire hose reel. The hose holder, with its holes perfectly aligned for the hose, is depicted in a natural setting, surrounded by aquatic birds, including swans, adding an element of tranquility and harmony to the industrial piece. The artwork, created with a combination of watercolor, graphite, and coloured pencil on paperboard, captures the essence of the period, with its vibrant colors and attention to detail. The hose holder, a vital piece of equipment for fire brigades and companies during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States, is depicted as a functional yet beautiful object, worthy of display in an art gallery or art center. The figure of the fireman, though not present in the image, is implied through the insignia on the hose holder, adding a sense of occupation and profession to the artwork. The hose holder, with its wooden construction and sturdy design, is a testament to the heritage of emergency services and the dedication of those who serve their communities. This piece, now a period item, is a reminder of a bygone era and the importance of preserving the history and culture of the United States. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., as well as other art galleries and museums, would be proud to add this unique and captivating artwork to their collections, showcasing the beauty and functionality of everyday objects from the 20th century.
