EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the remarkable artwork of Helen E. Gilman, a talented artist from the 20th century. Titled "Cigar Store Indian" this piece pays homage to both American culture and indigenous traditions. In vibrant colors and intricate details, Gilman brings to life a wooden Indian figure that once stood proudly outside cigar stores across America in the 1930s. This iconic symbol represents an era when cigars were not only enjoyed but also celebrated as a part of everyday life. The female figure depicted in traditional dress and adorned with feathers exudes grace and strength. Her headdress is meticulously crafted, reflecting the rich heritage of Native American people. The artist's choice of watercolor colored pencil and graphite on paper adds depth and texture to this timeless creation. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of an art gallery or museum setting, this print invites viewers to appreciate the fusion between artistry and cultural significance. It serves as a reminder of our collective history while honoring the craftsmanship behind folk art. Helen E. Gilman's "Cigar Store Indian" transports us back in time, allowing us to glimpse into an era where tradition met modernity in America's bustling streets. As we admire this masterpiece today at the National Gallery of Art Washington, it sparks curiosity about our country's diverse past and encourages us to celebrate its artistic expressions for generations to come.
