Titled for a magazine called *American Stuff*, this gouache dates to about 1937, when the Depression was pushing many Americans into manual labor and cheap illustrated periodicals reached wide audiences. The Library of Congress catalogs it under working-class and laboring life of the 1930s, so the painting likely speaks to those themes through its bold, flat color. Gouache, an opaque water-based paint, let artists of the period build saturated areas of color quickly, a technique well suited to the graphic style of popular print culture.
