EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white pencil drawing, titled "Croatian, 1908" by Joseph Stella, takes us back to the early 20th century in America. The artist himself was of Croatian heritage, which adds a personal touch to this remarkable piece of art. Intriguingly detailed, the portrait captures the anticipation in the eyes of a distinguished man wearing a coat and hat. His gaze is directed away from the viewer, as if lost in deep contemplation or perhaps reminiscing about his homeland. The precision with which Stella has depicted every fold on his clothing and every strand of hair showcases his mastery over pencil drawing. The setting remains unknown but evokes an educational institution or scientific establishment with its refined atmosphere. This suggests that our subject may be an intellectual or scholar who has left his native Croatia for new opportunities in America. Stella's choice to create this artwork using only pencils emphasizes both the simplicity and complexity of human emotions. Through skillful shading techniques and delicate lines, he brings life to this solitary figure against a blank background. Displayed at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden within the Smithsonian Institution's collection, "Croatian, 1908" invites viewers to reflect upon their own heritage while appreciating Stella's ability to capture emotion through portraiture.
