Tomahawk Pipe, 1935" is a captivating work of art created by American artist Mary Berner. This masterpiece, a tobacco pipe in the shape of a tomahawk, dates back to the 1930s and offers a unique blend of historical significance and artistic innovation. Berner, a renowned artist of her time, expertly crafted this functional piece using graphite and colored pencil on paper, as well as metal and wood. The pipe's body is intricately decorated with geometric patterns and bold lines, reminiscent of tribal culture and native American art. The pipe's head is shaped like a traditional tomahawk, complete with a sharp edge and a wooden handle. This artwork is a testament to the rich heritage of American art and the influence of indigenous cultures on the artistic landscape of the United States. The pipe's creation during the 1930s and 1940s places it within a pivotal period in American history, reflecting the country's growing appreciation for its diverse cultural roots. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful piece in its collection, showcasing it as part of its Index of American Design. The pipe's functional design, with its tobacco chamber and air hole, adds to its allure, making it not only an object of artistic beauty but also a tool with a practical purpose. The Tomahawk Pipe, 1935, by Mary Berner, is a striking example of the decorative arts, merging the traditional and the contemporary, the functional and the artistic. Its intricate design and historical significance make it a must-see for anyone interested in American art, tribal culture, or the history of tobacco pipes.
