Andiron (One of Pair), 1935/1942
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating graphite drawing on paperboard by the 20th-century German-American artist Hans Korsch. This intriguing artwork represents a single andiron from a pair, showcasing the artist's keen observation and appreciation for the decorative arts. The andiron, a functional yet decorative element of a fireplace, is depicted in this drawing with remarkable detail. Its elongated shape, adorned with intricate geometric patterns and delicate lines, exudes an aura of elegance and sophistication. The use of graphite on paperboard adds a sense of depth and texture, making the andiron appear almost three-dimensional. This artwork is a fascinating blend of the 1930s and 1940s American aesthetic. The thirties are reflected in the Art Deco influence on the andiron's design, while the forties bring a sense of wartime simplicity and functionality. The andiron's timeless appeal and its ability to bridge these two decades make it a significant period item in the context of American art and culture. Hans Korsch, a German-born artist who immigrated to the United States in the late 1930s, created this drawing during his tenure in America. His work is now part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The andiron's presence in this prestigious gallery highlights its importance as an artefact of American heritage and its role in the development of American art during the 1930s and 1940s. This artwork invites us to appreciate the beauty and history of functional objects, as well as the artistic vision of their creators.
