EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Pa. German Band Box, created by Frances Lichten in approximately 1937. The band box, a decorative arts masterpiece of the Pennsylvania Dutch heritage art, is an embodiment of colonialism and American culture during the 20th century. The oval-shaped box features a dark background adorned with vibrant floral designs that beautifully blend color and concept. Its intricate watercolor graphite and gouache on paperboard technique adds depth to every detail, making it truly mesmerizing. In this snapshot, we witness the meticulous craftsmanship of Lichten's creation as it takes center stage in an art gallery at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. The band box stands proudly amidst other period costumes and theatrical elements, symbolizing its significance within American history. Pennsylvania German influences are evident throughout this piece; from its design inspired by traditional dress to its connection to Pennsylvania Colony and Germany itself. This artwork serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage that shaped our country. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print, we are transported back to 1930s America - a time when homeware was not just functional but also served as expressions of creativity and identity. Frances Lichten's Pa. German Band Box captures both our imagination and appreciation for fine artistry that transcends time and place.
