EDITORS COMMENTS
Swing Torch, created by American artist Herman Bader in the mid-1930s, is a captivating work of art that showcases the beauty and power of a bird of prey in flight. This graphite drawing on paperboard captures the essence of the raptor's dynamic energy, with its outstretched wings and piercing gaze. The title "Swing Torch" suggests the intensity and focus of the eagle's hunt, as well as the fiery passion and creativity that Bader brought to his work. Bader's Swing Torch is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. This period, known as the American Century, was marked by a flourishing of artistic expression in various mediums, from painting and sculpture to graphic design and decorative arts. Bader's work is an important contribution to this heritage, and is now part of the prestigious Index of American Design collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The Swing Torch drawing is not only a work of art, but also a functional object that speaks to the interplay between art and design. Its bold lines and graphic composition make it a striking addition to any art center or gallery, while its timeless appeal ensures that it remains a beloved piece of American art for generations to come. Whether viewed as a decorative item or a work of functional art, Swing Torch continues to inspire awe and admiration, and is a reminder of the enduring power of creativity and the natural world.
