Cigar Store Figure, c. 1941
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the craftsmanship and cultural significance of traditional Scottish attire in mid-20th century America. Created by Robert Pohle, this artwork captures the essence of a bygone era when cigar stores were popular gathering places for men. The figure depicted in the photograph stands proudly on a plinth, donning a vibrant tartan kilt and an iconic Tam O'Shanter hat. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke of watercolor colored pencil and graphite on paperboard, bringing life to this folk art masterpiece. Pohle's work not only pays homage to his Scottish heritage but also serves as an advertisement for cigars during that time period. The man portrayed exudes confidence and sophistication while enjoying his smoke, embodying the American ideal of masculinity. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this artifact from the 1940s offers viewers a glimpse into both American culture and artistic expression during that decade. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend boundaries and capture moments frozen in time. As we admire "Cigar Store Figure" let us appreciate its historical significance as well as Pohle's skillful portrayal of tradition, fashion, and identity within American society.
