Fire Tongs, Shovel, and Jamb Hooks, c. 1936 - A Glimpse into American Hearthside Nostalgia
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Hans Korsch takes us back to the cozy warmth of an American fireside in the 1930s. The image showcases a collection of essential fireplace tools that were not only functional but also decorative in their own right. The fire tongs, shovel, and jamb hooks depicted here are meticulously crafted from metal and exude a timeless elegance. Their intricate design reflects the attention to detail prevalent during this era. Each tool serves a specific purpose - the tongs for safely handling burning logs, the shovel for removing ashes, and the jamb hooks for holding various items near the hearth. Korsch's use of watercolor graphite and heightening on paperboard adds depth and texture to these artifacts. The subtle color palette enhances their rustic charm while capturing our imagination with hints of flickering flames dancing nearby. As we gaze upon this artwork at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , we can't help but feel transported to a simpler time when gathering around a crackling fire was both practical necessity and cherished tradition. This piece is part of Korsch's contribution to the Index of American Design project which sought to document America's rich cultural heritage through art. Through this photograph print, Korsch invites us to appreciate not just these utilitarian objects but also their significance as symbols of comfort, community, and enduring
