EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor, pen and ink, and graphite on paper artwork titled "Flatiron, 1935/1942" is a stunning creation by the talented American artist, Esther Williams. The image depicts a flat iron from the 1930s and 1940s, an essential household appliance that was a staple in American homes during these decades. The flat iron, with its sleek, geometric design, is shown in vivid detail, its metal surface reflecting the rich colors and textures of the fabric it once ironed. The artwork is a testament to the functional beauty of everyday objects, showcasing the artist's keen eye for detail and her ability to transform the mundane into the extraordinary. The iron, once a utilitarian tool used for pressing wrinkles from clothes, becomes a work of art in this composition. The use of watercolor, pen and ink, and graphite adds depth and texture to the piece, bringing out the intricate patterns and shapes of the iron's design. The title "Flatiron, 1935/1942" suggests a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era, a time when domestic appliances were not only functional but also decorative. This artwork is a valuable addition to any collection of American art from the 20th century, particularly those focused on the Decorative Arts or Design. It is a period piece that captures the essence of the 1930s and 1940s in the United States, a time of innovation and transformation in both art and technology. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this piece in its esteemed collection, a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States and the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places.
