EDITORS COMMENTS
Frances Cohen's captivating Shop Sign, created around 1939, transports us back in time to a quaint American shopping district of the 1930s and 1940s. This intricately hand-carved wooden sign, adorned with a colorful fish motif, once proudly hung outside a fishmonger's shop. The artistry of this piece is evident in the meticulous details of the fish, their scales expertly rendered in a combination of watercolor and colored pencil on paper. The brown wood base, with its weathered texture, adds to the sign's authenticity and sense of history. The carving itself is a testament to the craftsmanship of the era, with each fish meticulously chiseled out of the wood. The sign's design is both decorative and functional, serving as an invitation to customers to enter the shop and purchase fresh seafood. This period item, now a cherished piece of heritage art, is a reminder of a simpler time when handicrafts and local businesses were the norm. The Shop Sign by Frances Cohen is a stunning addition to any collection of decorative arts or Americana, and a valuable contribution to the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. The sign's vibrant colors and intricate details make it a standout piece, transporting us back to a time when shopping was a more personal experience, and the community was at the heart of commerce.
