EDITORS COMMENTS
This graphite drawing on paperboard, titled "Flat Iron Holder" by Danish-American artist Holger Hansen, dates back to the 1930s. The intriguing composition showcases a flat iron holder in a thought-provoking and artistic manner, offering a unique perspective on a common household item. Holger Hansen (1889-1968) was an influential figure in the American art scene during the 20th century. Born in Denmark, he immigrated to the United States in 1913 and became a prominent figure in the American modernist art movement. His works often featured everyday objects, imbuing them with a sense of elegance and sophistication. The "Flat Iron Holder," created in 1937, is a testament to Hansen's ability to transform the mundane into the extraordinary. The flat iron, a quintessential symbol of domesticity and household chores, is depicted here as an abstract form, its utilitarian function overshadowed by its sculptural beauty. The holder, a simple metal stand, is rendered with meticulous detail, its lines and shapes forming a harmonious composition. This artwork is a valuable addition to any art collection, serving as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the 1930s in America. The "Flat Iron Holder" is a period item that transcends its original function, inviting viewers to contemplate the intersection of art and everyday life. This drawing is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts and folk art compiled by the Federal Art Project during the 1930s. It is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it continues to inspire and intrigue visitors from around the world.
