EDITORS COMMENTS
This graphite drawing on paperboard, titled "Iron Holder" by Herman Bader, dates back to the 1930s and offers a unique blend of art and functionality. The image showcases an intricately designed iron holder in the form of an eagle, a common symbol of power and strength. The eagle's wings are spread wide, supporting a flat iron with a leaf design handle, while its body is adorned with detailed feather patterns. The iron holder, a domestic appliance essential for pressing clothes during the 20th century, is transformed into a decorative object of art. The Iron Holder is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the era, with its precise measurements of 13.5 x 9.5 inches. The drawing, a part of the Index of American Design, is an excellent representation of the decorative arts movement during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The use of graphite on paperboard adds to the intricacy and detail of the design, making it a standout piece in any art collection or gallery. The Iron Holder is not only a functional object but also a conceptual one, as it challenges the notion of what an iron holder can be. The eagle design adds a touch of whimsy and elegance to an otherwise mundane household item. The Iron Holder, with its raptor-like features, can be seen as a "Sad Iron" holder, offering a playful take on the traditional iron holder. This beautiful drawing is a reminder of the rich heritage of American art and design, and a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of the artists of the time.
