EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood figure, created by American artist Elmer G. Anderson in approximately 1936, is a striking representation of a man from the 1930s or 1940s. The figure, depicted in watercolor graphite and coloured pencil on paperboard, showcases Anderson's exceptional artistic skill in capturing the intricacies of the human form. The man wears a top hat and a suit, which were popular fashion choices during this period. The hat, with its distinctive tall crown and narrow brim, adds an air of sophistication and elegance to the figure. The man's clothes, with their measured lines and attention to detail, reflect the era's focus on tailored apparel. The figure's posture conveys a sense of confidence and authority, with his chest puffed out and his arms resting at his sides. His face, with its serious expression and furrowed brow, suggests that he is an orator or a speaker, delivering a passionate and impassioned message to his audience. The figure's wooden base adds a tactile and earthy element to the artwork, grounding it in the natural world and emphasizing the connection between the human form and the natural materials. The use of color and shading in the drawing adds depth and dimension, bringing the figure to life and making it a captivating work of art. This piece is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive record of American decorative arts and fine arts produced between 1600 and 1875, as well as the 20th century. It is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the United States and a reminder of the fashion trends and cultural influences of the 1930s and 1940s.
