EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Walter Hochstrasser's "Cigar Store Figure, c. 1937". The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of pencil and brush, bringing this Native American figurine to life. Standing proudly in a tobacco shop, this statuette exudes an air of cultural heritage and artistic finesse. The figure's profile captures the essence of an indigenous man from the 1930s with remarkable accuracy. His traditional headdress, adorned with feathers and intricate patterns, adds a touch of regality to his presence. Clad in a cloak and turban, his clothing reflects both elegance and tradition. Hochstrasser masterfully employs watercolor graphite and gouache on paperboard to create depth and richness in color. The warm brown hues evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era while highlighting the statue's significance as an emblematic representation of Native American culture. Displayed within an art gallery or museum setting, this piece serves as a testament to America's diverse history. Its inclusion in the National Gallery of Art Washington further solidifies its status as an iconic work that celebrates not only Native American heritage but also Hochstrasser's exceptional talent. As we gaze upon this close-up image, we are transported back in time – immersed in the vibrant tapestry that is America's past. This photograph print allows us to appreciate not just the beauty captured within it but also serves as a reminder that art has always been deeply intertwined with our
