Tradesman's Sign - Chinese Man, c. 1939
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the vibrant streets of America in the early 20th century. Created by the talented artist Ingrid Selmer-Larsen, this piece showcases her mastery in capturing both the functional and decorative aspects of art. The image depicts a wooden sign skillfully crafted with watercolor graphite and colored pencil on paperboard. The sign features an intricately designed figure of a Chinese man, representing his occupation as a tea merchant or seller. This unique period item serves not only as a profession indicator but also as an exquisite decoration for any establishment. Selmer-Larsen's attention to detail shines through in every stroke, bringing life to the oriental charm exuded by this tradesman's sign. The use of color adds depth and richness to the artwork, making it visually striking and engaging. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this piece is part of their esteemed collection known as "Index of American Design". It stands as a testament to America's diverse cultural heritage and artistic expression during that era. As we admire this remarkable creation, let us appreciate Ingrid Selmer-Larsen's ability to capture not only an object but also its historical significance within our society. Through her artistry, she allows us to connect with past generations while celebrating their craftsmanship and contributions to our shared history.
