EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Tavern Sign, created by Alice Stearns in approximately 1938. The sign, a true testament to American craftsmanship and design, is a vibrant representation of the country's rich heritage art. Carved from wood and adorned with intricate details, it stands as a functional work of art that once graced the entrance of a local pub or public house. Stearns' artistic prowess shines through in this multicolored masterpiece. With watercolor and gouache on paperboard, she expertly captures the essence of an indigenous Native American figure at its center. This portrayal pays homage to America's native roots while also serving as an eye-catching advertisement for entertainment within. The Tavern Sign transports us back to the 1930s and 1940s, evoking nostalgia for a bygone era when such signs were commonplace throughout the United States. Its presence adds character to any space it occupies – be it an art gallery or private collection. As part of the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this period item holds immense historical significance. It serves as a reminder not only of Stearns' talent but also highlights how advertising and decorative arts have evolved over time. With its striking colors and impeccable craftsmanship, this Tavern Sign remains an enduring symbol of American culture and creativity.
