EDITORS COMMENTS
This work of art, titled "Curling Iron" by Wellington Blewett, dates back to the 1930s and offers a unique glimpse into the past. Created during the 20th century, this intricately detailed drawing showcases the elegance and charm of a bygone era. Blewett, an American artist, masterfully captured the essence of a curling iron using watercolor, graphite pen, and ink, and colored pencil on paper. The iron, with its ornate design and vibrant colors, stands out against the plain background, drawing the viewer's attention to its intricate details. The curling iron, a common household item during the 1930s and 1940s, was a functional tool used for styling hair. However, Blewett elevated it to an art form, transforming it into a decorative object worthy of display in an art gallery or museum. The curling iron's metal body is depicted with precise lines and shading, while the handle is adorned with intricate patterns and a rich, red hue. The artist's use of color adds depth and texture to the piece, making it a visual feast for the eyes. This work of art is a testament to the importance of functional objects in our daily lives and the role they play in shaping our cultural heritage. It is a reminder of the beauty and artistry that can be found in the most unexpected places. The "Curling Iron" by Wellington Blewett is part of the Index of American Design, a collection held by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This impressive piece is a must-see for anyone interested in American art, decorative arts, and the history of everyday objects.
