EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the intricately hand-carved cigar store figure, "Punch," created by American artist Raymond Neumann in the mid-20th century. The figure, dating from approximately 1935 to 1942, is a stunning example of the decorative arts from the 1930s and 1940s. Punch, also known as Punchinello or Mr. Punch, is a traditional European character often depicted as a mischievous, clown-like figure. Neumann's interpretation of this iconic character is brought to life through his masterful use of multicolored carving techniques, showcasing a level of detail and craftsmanship that is truly awe-inspiring. What sets this cigar store figure apart from others of its kind is its movable design. Neumann outfitted "Punch" with casters, allowing the figure to be easily moved around, adding to its functional appeal. The figure's colorful, hand-carved features are further accentuated by the use of watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink on paperboard, giving the figure a unique and vibrant appearance. This art piece is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of American art and the ingenuity of its creators. The "Punch" cigar store figure by Raymond Neumann is currently on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to captivate visitors and inspire admiration for the artistry and craftsmanship of the past.
