Andiron c. 1939

"Andiron" (c. 1939) by Herman Bader is a cast iron sculpture depicting a figure standing atop a pedestal, characteristic of his work. It exemplifies the Art Deco style with its geometric form and stylized details, reflecting the aesthetic of the era. The sculpture was likely designed as a decorative element for a fireplace, showcasing the artist's skill in creating functional yet visually appealing objects. Bader's works often incorporate elements of classical art and architecture, as seen in the figure's pose and the ornamentation on the pedestal.
