EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Hairbrush and Beard Tweezers" by George B. Wally, dates back to 1935 and offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Jicarilla Apache Tribe during the 1930s in the United States. Wally, an American artist, skillfully captured the essence of tribal life through this graphite and coloured pencil drawing on paper. The scene features a traditional Jicarilla Apache man, with a proud and stoic expression, meticulously grooming himself using a hairbrush and beard tweezers. The hairbrush, with its intricately woven design, is a testament to the tribe's artistic craftsmanship and resourcefulness. The beard tweezers, a necessary tool for maintaining facial hair in accordance with tribal customs, are also depicted with great attention to detail. The setting of the drawing is likely Forties, New Mexico, where Wally spent time documenting the lives of the Jicarilla Apache people as part of the Federal Arts Project, an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the Great Depression. Wally's dedication to capturing the authenticity and beauty of Native American culture is evident in this exquisite work of art. This drawing, now held in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a valuable addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts from the colonial period to the 1940s. The "Hairbrush and Beard Tweezers" by George B. Wally provides a unique window into the daily life and traditions of the Jicarilla Apache Tribe during the 1930s, offering a glimpse into the past that continues to resonate with viewers today.
