EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a vintage circus wagon figure of the mischievous Greek god Pan, created by the talented American artist Katharine Merrill in approximately 1939. The figure is a stunning example of 20th-century decorative arts, with intricate carvings and vibrant colors that bring the mythological figure to life. Pan, the god of the wild, shepherds, and flocks, is depicted in this figure with his characteristic horns, goat legs, and pipe. The multi-colored and multicolored wood carving is a testament to Merrill's masterful woodworking skills and her ability to capture the essence of the deity's playful and whimsical nature. The circus wagon figure of Pan is a period item that transports us back to the 1930s and 1940s, a time when traveling circuses were a popular form of entertainment in the United States. This figure would have been a cherished addition to a circus wagon or caravan, adding a touch of color and excitement to the show. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. currently houses this piece in its collection, which is a testament to its historical and artistic significance. The gallery's Index of American Design includes this figure, reflecting its importance in the heritage of American art. Merrill's Pan figure is a functional work of art, combining both decorative and religious elements. The use of watercolor and graphite on paper in the background adds an extra layer of detail and depth to the piece, making it a true masterpiece of American art from the 1930s and 1940s.
