Sailor Take Care c. 1933

"Sailor Take Care" is a lithograph created by Everett Gee Jackson in 1933. Depicting a sailor and a woman seated at a table, the artwork captures a moment of intimate farewell. The simplified forms and stark contrasts of light and shadow are characteristic of Jackson's style, reflecting the influence of Art Deco and American Regionalism. While the sailor's back is turned, the woman's gaze and the presence of a half-empty glass of wine suggest a poignant scene of departure and longing. The work's realism and emotional depth resonate with viewers, offering a glimpse into the experiences of love and separation during a time of societal change.
