Cigar Store Indian, c. 1937
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of Richard F. Smith, an American artist from the 20th century. This vibrant artwork captures the essence of a bygone era, reflecting the cultural heritage and decorative arts prevalent in America during the 1930s and 1940s. The wooden figure depicted in this piece is a testament to Smith's skill as a woodcarver. Every intricate detail has been meticulously carved into the wood, resulting in a visually stunning creation. The multi-colored palette adds depth and character to this functional object, which was originally designed for advertising purposes. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this item holds historical significance as part of the "Index of American Design". It serves as a reminder of America's rich artistic legacy and its connection to traditional craftsmanship. Smith's portrayal of this cigar store figure evokes nostalgia for a time when such objects were commonly found throughout the country. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back to an era where hand-carved wooden Indians adorned storefronts across America. This print allows us to appreciate not only Smith's talent but also his ability to capture Americana through art. It stands as both an homage to our nation's past and an enduring symbol of creativity and ingenuity within decorative arts.
