This photograph print showcases the intricately carved and multi-colored Cigar Store Indian sculpture, created by Maurice Van Felix and Elizabeth Fairchild in the 1930s or 1940s. The Cigar Store Indian, a traditional American folk art form, is a decorative wood carving of a male figure dressed in Native American attire, holding a cigar and a clay pipe. This particular piece, with its vibrant colors and detailed design, stands out for its exceptional craftsmanship and artistic merit. Maurice Van Felix and Elizabeth Fairchild collaborated on this masterpiece, with Van Felix responsible for the wood carving and Fairchild contributing the watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink on paperboard details. The Cigar Store Indian is a period item that embodies the spirit of the 1930s and 1940s, a time when such decorative arts were popular in America. Originally intended as a decorative element in cigar stores and tobacco shops, these wooden figures have since become cherished pieces of American heritage art. This Cigar Store Indian, with its rich history and beautiful design, is now a prized addition to any art collection or gallery. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and other esteemed institutions have recognized the significance of these folk art pieces and have included them in their collections.
