EDITORS COMMENTS
This graphite drawing on paperboard by Milton Grubstein, titled "Flat Iron Holder," dates back to the 1930s in the United States. The image showcases a vintage flat iron holder, a common household appliance during that era, which was used to store and display the hot flat irons after use. The holder, with its elegant and intricate design, is depicted on a simple table, surrounded by a plain background, allowing the viewer's focus to remain on its unique features. Milton Grubstein, an American artist, skillfully captured the essence of this mundane yet essential object, transforming it into a work of art. The flat iron holder's ornate decorative elements, reminiscent of Art Deco and Art Moderne styles, add an air of sophistication and charm to the drawing. The use of graphite on paperboard further enhances the drawing's texture and depth, making it a standout piece in the realm of decorative arts. The flat iron holder is often associated with the domestic sphere, symbolizing the daily chores and routines of women during the 1930s. The object's presence in the drawing evokes memories of the era's traditional gender roles, where women were often responsible for maintaining the household and ensuring their families were well-groomed. The flat iron, an essential tool for ironing clothes, was a constant companion for many women during this period. This piece of art, a testament to the rich heritage of American design, can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Milton Grubstein's "Flat Iron Holder" is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the everyday objects that shaped our history.
