EDITORS COMMENTS
Max Soltmann's Pa. German Jar with Cover, created around 1937, is a vibrant and intricately detailed depiction of a traditional Pennsylvania Dutch jar with its accompanying cover. Soltmann, a renowned artist and illustrator of the 20th century, captured the essence of this quintessential American artifact with remarkable accuracy and charm. This gouache on paperboard artwork transports us back to the 1930s, a time when such containers were still commonly used in rural Pennsylvania Dutch communities for food storage and preservation. The jar's round, sturdy shape and the cover's intricate floral design are both faithfully rendered, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Pennsylvania German people. The jar's body is adorned with a rich, earthy color palette, reminiscent of the natural hues found in the Pennsylvania countryside. The cover, on the other hand, bursts with a riot of colors, as if inspired by the abundant flora that thrived in the region. Soltmann's deft use of brushstrokes and attention to detail bring the jar and its cover to life, making this piece an invaluable addition to any art collection focusing on the decorative arts of the United States. Originally created as part of the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project during the Great Depression, this artwork is now part of the National Gallery of Art's extensive collection in Washington, D.C. A testament to American heritage and the artistic talent of the time, Max Soltmann's Pa. German Jar with Cover continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
