Moccasin, 1935
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating artwork by American artist Charles Charon, showcasing intricate beadwork and embroidery on a two-dimensional representation of a traditional Native American moccasin. This masterpiece, created during the 1930s, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Eastern Woodlands indigenous peoples of the United States. Charles Charon, an accomplished artist, skillfully employed colored pencil and graphite on paper to bring this moccasin to life. The artwork is adorned with a multicolored leaf motif, reflecting the natural beauty and connection to the land that is inherent in Native American culture. The moccasin design is further enhanced by the use of beads, which add texture and depth to the artwork. This functional piece of footwear, which was once an essential part of daily life for many Native American communities, is now preserved as a cherished artifact in galleries and museums across the country. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is one such institution that holds this valuable piece in its collection, showcasing it as an important part of the Index of American Design. The Penobscot people, one of the indigenous communities of the Eastern Woodlands, are known for their intricate beadwork and moccasin designs. Charon's artwork pays homage to this tradition, highlighting the beauty and significance of these traditional crafts that continue to inspire and captivate audiences today. Moccasin, 1935, is not only a work of art but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives and traditions of Native American communities during the 1930s. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultural heritage of the United States.
