EDITORS COMMENTS
Arlington Gregg's Iron, created in 1937, is a captivating watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink on paper art piece that showcases the beauty and functionality of a simple household appliance. The image depicts an iron, a common domestic item from the 1930s and 1940s, in a thoughtful and artistic way. The iron, with its sleek, curved design and intricate details, is presented as a work of art in its own right. This period piece, which is part of the Index of American Design collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., offers a glimpse into the past and the evolution of design in the United States during the 20th century. The iron, with its vintage charm, serves as a reminder of a time when household chores were carried out with more manual labor and fewer modern conveniences. The use of watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink techniques adds to the artistry of the piece, making the iron appear as if it's coming to life on the paper. The iron's flat surface, with its intricate patterns and textures, is rendered in stunning detail, making it a standout piece in any art collection. The iron, with its sad, almost melancholic expression, seems to convey a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. It is a testament to the power of art to transform the mundane into the extraordinary and to capture the essence of a time and place in history.
