Andiron, 1935/1942
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by Salvatore Borrazzo, showcasing the artist's exceptional craftsmanship and mastery of the decorative arts. This graphite drawing on paper, created during the 1930s or 1940s, presents an intriguing blend of function and art, as it depicts a traditional andiron or fire dog. The andiron, a common household item in the United States during this period, was designed to support logs in fireplaces and prevent them from rolling out. Borrazzo's interpretation of this utilitarian object transcends its original purpose, elevating it to the realm of fine art. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and use of graphite allows for a striking representation of the andiron's textured metal surface, capturing the essence of its material and the warmth it once held in a fireplace. This piece is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and design during the 20th century. Borrazzo's "Andiron, 1935/1942" is a standout piece in the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts and crafts compiled by the Smithsonian Institution between 1932 and 1942. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is one of the many esteemed art institutions that have recognized the value and importance of this work, making it a cherished addition to their collection. As we admire this graphite drawing, we are transported back in time to the thirties and forties, a period of significant change and growth in American history. Borrazzo's "Andiron, 1935/1942" serves as a reminder of the beauty and significance that can be found in the most ordinary objects, inviting us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that surrounds us in our daily lives.
