Match Safe, c. 1939 Creator: Julius Bellamy (American, 1882-1975) Date: Circa 1939 Description: This work of art, titled "Match Safe," is a graphite drawing on paperboard created by the renowned American artist, Julius Bellamy, in approximately 1939. The image showcases a match safe, an ornamental container designed to hold matches, which was a common household item during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. Bellamy's intricate and detailed rendering of the match safe reveals its functional yet decorative nature. The metal container, with its distinctive trademark design, is depicted in a way that highlights its elegant curves and precise lines. The artist's use of graphite on paperboard adds depth and texture to the image, making the match safe appear as if it could leap off the page. The match safe is an intriguing object from America's past, representing both the country's industrial prowess and its appreciation for aesthetics. This drawing serves as a testament to Bellamy's skill as an artist, his ability to capture the essence of everyday objects, and his contribution to the Decorative Arts movement during the 1930s. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is home to this significant work of art, which is part of the Index of American Design. The Index of American Design is a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts, spanning the 17th through the mid-20th centuries. Bellamy's Match Safe, c. 1939, is a valuable addition to this esteemed collection, providing a glimpse into the past and showcasing the beauty and ingenuity of American design.
