EDITORS COMMENTS
Charles Charon's intriguing artwork, "Horn and Mortar & Pestle," transports us back in time to the 1930s in America. This piece, created in 1935, showcases a unique blend of American and indigenous influences. The central focus is a mortar and pestle, a traditional kitchen utensil used for grinding and mixing ingredients. But Charon adds an unexpected twist by pairing it with a horn and a wooden wind instrument, both adorned with intricate geometric patterns. The mortar and pestle, made of wood, is decorated with bold, geometric designs reminiscent of indigenous art. The pestle, shaped like a musical instrument, seems to be in the process of being played, adding a musical element to the scene. The horn, a wind instrument, is intricately carved and painted, suggesting its use in both cooking and music. Charon's use of graphite and colored pencil on paper creates a rich, textured effect, bringing the objects to life. The artist's attention to detail and appreciation for the cultural significance of these items is evident in every line and stroke. This artwork is a testament to the functional beauty of everyday objects and the diverse cultural heritage of America during the 1930s. Originally from the Mohegan tribe, Charon's artwork is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts, held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This artwork invites us to reflect on the connections between food, music, and culture, and the ways in which they intertwine in our shared history.
