Andiron, 1935/1942
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art by the talented American artist, Salvatore Borrazzo. This graphite drawing on paper, created during the 1930s or 1940s, showcases Borrazzo's exceptional ability to transform everyday objects into works of art. The subject of this drawing is an andiron, a decorative metal stand used to support logs in a fireplace. Borrazzo masterfully captures the essence of this functional object, highlighting its intricate design and craftsmanship. The andiron's rustic metalwork is brought to life through the artist's skilled use of graphite, creating a striking contrast between the dark, textured metal and the light, smooth paper. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way he renders the individual rods, the intricate patterns on their surfaces, and the subtle curves and angles that give the andiron its distinctive shape. Despite being a work of art, "Andiron, 1935/1942" also serves as a fascinating snapshot of American heritage. The drawing not only showcases the beauty and functionality of this traditional object but also offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when fireplaces were a common feature in American homes. This artwork is part of the Index of American Design, a collection of over 18,000 drawings and photographs of American decorative arts and crafts, held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Borrazzo's "Andiron, 1935/1942" is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the United States and a reminder of the beauty that can be found in the most ordinary of objects. Whether viewed through the lens of art history, American history, or simply as a beautiful work of art, "Andiron, 1935/1942" is sure to captivate and inspire.
