Shield, 1935
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating work of art created by American artist Charles Charon. This masterpiece, a graphite and colored pencil drawing on paper, dates back to the 1930s and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Native American communities in the United States. The central focus of the artwork is a shield, intricately decorated with a multitude of vibrant feathers, arranged in a geometric pattern that speaks to the deep connection between the indigenous people and the natural world. The shield, which appears to be made of hide, is adorned with feathers of various colors, from bold reds and yellows to subtle browns and blues. The shield, reminiscent of those used in traditional Native American warfare and hunting practices, is a functional object imbued with deep cultural significance. Charon's meticulous attention to detail in the depiction of the feathers and the hide, as well as the geometric patterns that frame the shield, reveal a profound appreciation for the artistry and craftsmanship of Native American culture. The setting of the artwork is the Rio Grande, a prominent geographical feature that has played a significant role in the history and development of the American Southwest. The river, depicted in the background, adds a sense of place and context to the artwork, further emphasizing the connection between the indigenous people and the land. "Shield, 1935" is an important work of art that speaks to the rich cultural heritage of Native American communities in the United States. It is a testament to the enduring power of art to preserve and celebrate the traditions and stories of the past. This artwork is part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts, folk art, and fine arts held at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, art, and culture.
