EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tea Store Figure, 1935/1942" by Ingrid Selmer-Larsen takes us back to the vibrant era of 1930s and 1940s America. The image showcases a male figure, presumably a tea merchant or seller, holding an intricately designed tea canister in his hands. Dressed in traditional Oriental attire, he exudes an air of elegance and authenticity. The artist's attention to detail is evident in this piece as she skillfully combines watercolor graphite and colored pencil on paperboard to bring out the rich colors and textures of the wooden crate that surrounds him. The decorative arts influence is unmistakable, making it a true period item that reflects the functional yet artistic nature of everyday objects during that time. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, this artwork from Ingrid Selmer-Larsen's collection offers viewers a glimpse into American heritage art. It not only highlights the craftsmanship involved in creating such items but also pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to these professions. As we admire this Tea Store Figure print, we are transported back in time where tea stores were bustling with activity and men like him played an essential role in providing people with their favorite beverage. This photograph serves as a reminder of how art has always been intertwined with our daily lives - even within seemingly mundane occupations like selling tea.
