Individual Container for Indians Daily Portion of Food, c. 1940
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that offers a glimpse into the cultural and historical significance of daily sustenance during the 1940s in America. Created by Rose Campbell-Gerke, this artwork showcases an intricately detailed pencil drawing with watercolor colored pencil and graphite on paper. The image portrays a close-up view of an individual container or lunchbox used by Native Americans to carry their daily portion of food. This portable box, beautifully rendered with vibrant colors, reflects the artist's attention to detail and her ability to capture the essence of this everyday object. As we delve into its historical context, we are transported back to a time when rationing was prevalent due to wartime conditions. The container symbolizes not only sustenance but also resilience and resourcefulness in times of scarcity. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this piece from the "Index of American Design" collection serves as a testament to America's diverse heritage and artistic expression. It invites viewers to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating such containers and their cultural significance within Native American communities. Through this artwork, Rose Campbell-Gerke pays homage to an often-overlooked aspect of history while reminding us that even mundane objects can hold profound stories waiting to be discovered.
