This original piece of illustration art created by the famous Midwestern American artist Eugene Mumaw, is an excellent example of his individualistic artistic style that singularly defines him as one of the most distinguished artists in the United States. Eugene Mumaw was born in Muncie, Indiana, and graduated from Muncie Central High School. For almost 50 years, half a century, Eugene Mumaw worked at the Ball Corporation, a legendary American company that today still manufactures quality glass home-canning jars. Established in 1880 with a two-hundred dollar loan from a family member, the Ball Corporation first manufactured wood-jacketed tin cans used for paint and kerosene product containers. In 1884, the Ball Corporation began making their outstanding and globally famous glass home-canning jars that today are still popularly used in the twenty-first century. Aside from preserving food, some other many contemporary uses for the Ball Corporation glass home-canning jars include taking fresh salads to work for a healthy lunch including your own smaller home-canning Ball jar to tote freshly made chemical free salad dressing. You can also carry your homemade soup in a backpack and it does not leak. Ball jars are also very popular drinking glasses used for all occasions from formal weddings to a casual picnic, even possibly a Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg style food event. Decorative Ball jar vases are perfect for displaying small floral bouquets that today are seen in many restaurants. Filling your Ball Jar with oatmeal, fruit and vegetable infused water, and heating your brought from home lunch in a Cooluli office refrigerator is the best, and we may probably never forget Moonshine. In 1887, the Ball brothers moved their company from Buffalo, New York, to Muncie, Indiana, taking advantage of the states abundant natural gas reserves along with opportunities for company expansion. Interestingly, Eugene Mumaw worked at the Ball Corporation in the area of Internal Quality Control and one could naturally assume he thoroughly had positive employee experiences after working there 47 years. This Indiana artist was a Catholic and for 25 years he drew engaging art posters for the Muncie Civic Theatre. Now you too can own one of the Eugene Mumaw cutie girl pin-up art creations and decoratively display in your kitchen, pantry, or home-canning jar products area as rare exclusive original art from a distinguished American mid-twentieth century artist. When the current supply of these original art pieces are completely sold-out, and will in the near future, they will likely be found only at auction sales and purchased for overly inflated prices perhaps at Sotheby, Christie’s, Phillips, Bonhams, and online auction houses.
