EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bullet Pouch and Powder Horn, c. 1937" by Cecil Smith showcases a remarkable piece of functional art from mid-20th century America. The artist's attention to detail is evident in this watercolor graphite and gouache on paper representation of a bullet pouch and powder horn. The bullet pouch, made of embossed leather, exudes both beauty and practicality. Its intricate design reflects the decorative arts prevalent during the 1930s and 1940s, while its functionality speaks to its purpose as an essential item for those living in the country or engaging in outdoor activities. Accompanying the bullet pouch is a powder horn, another period item that adds historical significance to this artwork. This object was commonly used during that era for storing gunpowder for firearms. The artist's choice of color brings out the rich tones of both items, enhancing their visual appeal. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art's Index of American Design collection, this photograph print captures not only an exquisite example of craftsmanship but also serves as a testament to American heritage art. Cecil Smith skillfully portrays these objects with precision and reverence, allowing viewers to appreciate their aesthetic value within their historical context. This artwork invites us into a bygone era when functional items were designed with artistic flair—a reminder that even everyday objects can be elevated through thoughtful design and skilled execution.
