Cigar Store Soldier
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and vibrant artwork created by American artist Eugene Croe in 1936. This gouache and graphite on paperboard masterpiece showcases a dapper, multi-colored cigar store figure dressed in a military uniform, hailing from the tobacco-loving culture of the 1930s in the United States. The soldier stands proudly, his posture exuding confidence and strength, as he dons a detailed uniform adorned with various insignia and intricate patterns. The soldier's dress coat is a riot of colors, with reds, blues, greens, and yellows creating a striking contrast against the soldier's dark trousers and polished boots. This artifact, a relic of a bygone era, transports us back to the tobacco shops and tobacconists of the 1930s, where these cigar store figures were a common sight. The soldier's presence would have drawn in customers, enticing them with the promise of a good cigar and a friendly chat. The artwork, now a cherished piece of heritage art, is a testament to the rich cultural history of America during the 20th century. The "Cigar Store Soldier" can be found in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it is cataloged as part of the Index of American Design. This artwork is a must-see for anyone interested in American art, fashion, and history, offering a glimpse into the colorful and intriguing world of the past. Whether you are a collector, historian, or simply an art lover, the "Cigar Store Soldier" is sure to leave a lasting impression.
