EDITORS COMMENTS
This Pa. German Stove Plate, created by Elmer G. Anderson in 1936, showcases the intriguing fusion of the 18th century Pennsylvania Dutch culture with the modern 20th century. The graphite on paper drawing depicts an ornate, intricately designed stove plate, reminiscent of those used in traditional Pennsylvania German homes during the 1700s. However, the context of this piece is distinctly different, as it was produced during the 1930s - a time when American art was undergoing significant transformations. The plate's design is a testament to the rich heritage and enduring influence of the Pennsylvania Dutch culture in the United States. The iron stove, a common household appliance in both the 18th and 20th centuries, is depicted with a vibrant and colorful rendering that brings it to life. The intricate patterns and designs on the stove are characteristic of the Pennsylvania German style, which is known for its bold, geometric shapes and intricate details. Elmer G. Anderson, the creator of this piece, was an American artist who was deeply influenced by the Pennsylvania Dutch culture. His work, which is now part of the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., reflects his appreciation for the unique and distinctive aspects of American heritage. This stove plate is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical artifact that provides a glimpse into the past and the enduring influence of Pennsylvania German culture on American art and design. The stove plate is a fascinating example of how the past and the present can intertwine to create something new and meaningful. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our cultural heritage, while also recognizing the ongoing evolution of American art and design.
