EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Shoe Blacking Bottle, dating back to the year 1937. Created by the talented artist Charles Garjian, this artifact represents an important aspect of American culture and design during the 20th century. The bottle itself is made of glass and features a striking color palette that combines watercolor graphite and colored pencil on paperboard. Displayed in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this artwork is part of the renowned Index of American Design collection. Through his meticulous attention to detail, Garjian beautifully captures both the functional and aesthetic qualities of this shoe blacking bottle. The significance of this piece lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its historical context. During the 1930s, shoe polish was an essential product used by people across the United States to maintain their footwear's appearance and durability. This artifact serves as a reminder of America's industrial heritage and craftsmanship. As we admire Garjian's skillful rendering, we are transported back in time to witness a snapshot from our country's past. It evokes nostalgia for simpler times when even everyday objects were crafted with care and elegance. Let us appreciate this exquisite representation of American artistry as it immortalizes an often overlooked item that played a vital role in maintaining one's shoes' shine throughout history.
