EDITORS COMMENTS
This Pa. German Chalkware Squirrel, created by Inez McCombs in approximately 1939, showcases the intricate artistry and rich heritage of Pennsylvania Dutch decorative arts. The squirrel, rendered in white chalkware with delicate watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink details, is a charming representation of the natural world. With its expressive eyes and bushy tail, this rodent ornament exudes a playful energy that invites admiration. Inez McCombs, a skilled artist from the Pennsylvania German colony, was known for her ability to breathe new life into traditional folk art forms. This squirrel figure, with its fruit-laden branches, is a testament to her talent and the enduring appeal of the Pa. German decorative arts tradition. The squirrel, a common motif in Pennsylvania Dutch art, was often used as a decorative element on furniture, mantelpieces, and other household items. This piece, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, would have been a cherished addition to any home in the 1930s and 1940s. Today, this Pa. German Chalkware Squirrel by Inez McCombs is an invaluable addition to the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States and the enduring allure of folk art.
