EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Match Holder" by American artist Julius Bellamy, dates back to the 1940s. The artwork, created in graphite on paperboard, showcases a match holder or matchbox from the era. The match holder, with its ornate design and intricate details, is a testament to the functional art movement that flourished during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. The match holder, a common household item, is transformed into a work of art through Bellamy's skillful hand. The design is reminiscent of the Art Deco period, with its geometric shapes and bold lines. The match holder's metal container is adorned with a decorative pattern, featuring a stylized floral motif and the artist's trademark. The match holder's location in the image is not clear, but it is evident that it was once an essential item in someone's daily life. The use of graphite on paperboard adds an element of sophistication and elegance to the piece, making it a desirable addition to any art collection or gallery. The "Match Holder" by Julius Bellamy is a significant contribution to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts from the colonial period to the 1940s. This artwork is a reminder of the rich heritage of American art and design, and the importance of preserving and celebrating the functional objects that have shaped our daily lives.
