EDITORS COMMENTS
This work of art, titled "Tradesman's Sign" by Laura Bilodeau, dates back to the 1940s and offers a glimpse into the past with its charming depiction of a colorful tradesman's sign. The sign features a multicolored cigar store Indian, a popular figurine commonly used as a marketing tool during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The wooden Indian, with his piercing gaze and intricately designed clothing, stands proudly atop a sign adorned with various tradesman's tools and the words "Fix It Here." The artwork itself is a stunning watercolor graphite and colored pencil creation on paperboard, showcasing Bilodeau's exceptional talent for capturing the essence of a bygone era. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details adds to the allure of this piece, transporting viewers back in time to a simpler era. The "Tradesman's Sign" is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of America during the 1930s and 1940s. It is a period item that speaks to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of tradesmen during this time, as well as the importance of local businesses in communities. This artwork is a must-see for anyone interested in decorative arts, design, or American history, and is a proud addition to any art collection. The "Tradesman's Sign" by Laura Bilodeau is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts held by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This artwork is a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage and the role that art plays in capturing and sharing the stories of the past.
