EDITORS COMMENTS
This Cigar Store Figure, created by American artist Eugene Croe in 1937, showcases the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s. The multicolored, 20th-century artwork depicts a Native American man wearing a colorful headdress and holding an axe, adorned with a crown at its top. The figure, dressed in traditional clothing and adorned with intricate patterns, exudes a sense of strength and pride. Croe's use of datercolor gouache and graphite on paperboard creates a striking contrast between the smooth, flat areas of color and the detailed textures of the man's clothing and the axe. The figure's expression is serene and confident, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty and significance of the Native American culture. Originally intended as a decorative item for a tobacconist shop or tobacco store, this Cigar Store Figure is now a cherished artifact in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., as part of the Index of American Design. The figure's historical and artistic significance makes it a must-see for anyone interested in American art, the 1930s, or Native American culture. The Cigar Store Figure is a testament to the diversity and complexity of American culture, and a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the rich heritage of the past. Whether viewed as a work of art or a piece of history, this figure continues to captivate and inspire audiences, inviting us to explore the stories and traditions that have shaped our country.
