EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image showcases The St. Nicolas Model, a late Art Deco design for a tombstone produced by Modern Art Memorials in 1938. The Art Deco movement, which emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, is characterized by its bold geometric shapes, rich colors, and lavish ornamentation. This tombstone design embodies the essence of the movement, with its sweeping lines, intricate patterns, and elegant curves. The St. Nicolas Model tombstone features a stylized representation of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of children and sailors, with his traditional attributes of a bishop's mitre and a staff topped with a crucifix. The design is set against a backdrop of abstract geometric shapes and intricate patterns, creating a visually stunning and memorable tribute. The use of bold, contrasting colors adds to the overall impact of the design, with the deep, rich hues of the saint's robe and the crisp, clean lines of the geometric shapes creating a striking contrast. The attention to detail and the sense of craftsmanship evident in this tombstone design are a testament to the artisanal skills of the Modern Art Memorials team. This tombstone design reflects the cultural and artistic trends of the time, making it an important historical artifact that offers insights into the funerary practices and artistic sensibilities of the 1930s in the United States. The St. Nicolas Model tombstone is a beautiful and enduring tribute to the legacy of the Art Deco movement and the enduring power of art to celebrate and commemorate the lives of those we have loved and lost.
