EDITORS COMMENTS
This work of art, titled "Cigar Store Indian" by Adele Brooks, dates back to the 1930s and 1940s. The image is a stunning watercolor, graphite, and colored pencil rendering on paper, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Native Americans. The multicolored, wooden Indian figure is depicted in a traditional yet stylized manner, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of the era. The Cigar Store Indian was a popular decorative figure in American advertisements during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These wooden figures, often dressed in Native American attire, were used to promote various goods and services, particularly tobacco products. However, this artwork by Adele Brooks is not an advertisement itself, but rather a beautiful and thoughtful interpretation of the iconic figure. The vibrant colors and intricate details in this piece highlight the artist's exceptional skill and dedication to her craft. The image exudes a sense of nostalgia and wonder, transporting us back in time to a bygone era. The Cigar Store Indian, as depicted by Adele Brooks, is not only a testament to the artist's talent but also a reminder of the rich cultural history that continues to influence and inspire us today. This artwork is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts and design held by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The Index of American Design is an invaluable resource for scholars, artists, and enthusiasts, providing insights into the artistic and cultural developments of the United States throughout the 17th through the mid-20th centuries.
