Bootjack,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating work on paperboard by Salvatore Borrazzo, dates back to the 1930s, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of American decorative arts during the 20th century. This graphite drawing, with its intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship, showcases Borrazzo's exceptional artistic abilities and his deep connection to the functional design of the era. Measuring approximately 12 x 15 inches, this scale drawing of a bootjack is a testament to the artist's commitment to capturing the essence of the object in its entirety. The bootjack, a common household item used to remove boots, is depicted with remarkable detail, from the contours of the metalwork to the subtle texture of the graphite lines. The Bootjack drawing is an essential addition to any collection focused on the Index of American Design, showcasing the country's artistic and cultural heritage. This piece, created during the 1930s and 1940s, is a prime example of the functional art that emerged during this period, as artists sought to celebrate the beauty and utility of everyday objects. Originally from Italy, Borrazzo brought a unique perspective to his American subjects, resulting in works that are both visually stunning and historically significant. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is proud to house this exceptional piece in its permanent collection, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich history of American art and design. Whether viewed as a standalone work of art or as a representation of a bygone era, Borrazzo's Bootjack drawing is a must-see for anyone interested in the decorative arts, the history of the United States, or the remarkable talent of this under-appreciated artist.
