EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the "Indian Chief Coin Bank" created by William O. Fletcher in 1938. The bank, a testament to American Indian culture and heritage, is a vibrant representation of artistry and design from the 20th century. In this remarkable piece, Fletcher skillfully combines watercolor gouache, pen and ink, as well as graphite on paper to bring forth an enchanting color palette that breathes life into the image. The intricate details of the chief's headdress and facial features are meticulously captured, evoking a sense of pride and strength. The concept behind this artwork goes beyond its aesthetic appeal; it symbolizes financial responsibility and savings. As a piggy bank or money box, it serves as a reminder for individuals to cultivate good saving habits while celebrating Native American traditions. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this masterpiece stands as an important index of American design history. It represents not only the artistic talent of William O. Fletcher but also pays homage to indigenous peoples who have shaped America's rich cultural tapestry. As we gaze upon this stunning creation, we are transported back in time to witness both the beauty and resilience embodied by Native Americans during one of America's most transformative eras - the thirties. This photograph print encapsulates their enduring legacy within our country's narrative while reminding us all about prudent financial management for generations to come.
