EDITORS COMMENTS
This work of art, titled "Cigar Store Indian" by Adele Brooks, dates back to the 1930s or 1940s. The image showcases a Native American figure, dressed in traditional attire, holding a cigar and a pipe in each hand. The multicolored and intricately designed outfit, adorned with geometric patterns and feathers, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of indigenous peoples in America. Brooks, an accomplished artist of the 20th century, skillfully rendered this figure using watercolor and graphite on paper. The use of these mediums adds depth and texture to the image, making the figure appear lifelike and engaging. The wooden background, with its worn and aged appearance, further emphasizes the antique quality of the piece. The Cigar Store Indian was a common sight in American stores during the 19th and early 20th centuries. These wooden figures, often depicting Native Americans or other ethnic groups, were used as decorative displays to sell cigars and other goods. However, this artwork by Adele Brooks is not a commercial piece, but rather a beautiful and thoughtful representation of the past. Today, this artwork is an important addition to the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it is preserved for future generations to appreciate the artistic and historical significance of this unique piece. The Cigar Store Indian by Adele Brooks is a testament to the enduring influence of the past on American art and culture.
