EDITORS COMMENTS
This graphite on paperboard drawing by Herman Bader showcases a Pa. German Flat-iron Holder from around 1938. The holder, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Pennsylvania Dutch, or Pennsylvania German, community in America, is depicted in exquisite detail. The holder, which would have been used to store and protect flat irons during the 1930s and 1940s, is adorned with a stunning floral design. The intricate pattern, reminiscent of the vibrant flowers that bloomed in Pennsylvania's countryside, covers the entire surface of the holder, adding a decorative touch to this functional object. Measuring approximately 11 x 8 inches (28 x 20.3 cm), this scale drawing offers a detailed and intimate look at this important piece of domestic art. The holder, with its floral pattern and elegant shape, is a prime example of the artistic and creative traditions of the Pennsylvania German Colony. Bader, a skilled artist, expertly captures the holder's unique character and charm in this beautiful drawing. The detailed rendering of the holder's curves and the delicate floral pattern showcase Bader's exceptional drafting skills and his deep appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of the Pennsylvania Dutch community. This drawing, part of the Index of American Design, is now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It serves as an important reminder of the beauty and significance of the everyday objects that shaped American life during the 1930s and 1940s.
