EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a collection of Jointed Wooden Dolls created by American artist Arelia Arbo between the years 1935 and 1942. Arbo's intricately designed dolls, depicted here in a watercolor and graphite drawing on paper, represent a unique blend of art and functionality. Each doll features movable joints, allowing them to be posed and manipulated, transforming them from static objects into animated figures. The dolls, which date back to the 1930s and 1940s, reflect the charm and character of the two distinct decades. The 1930s, known for its Art Deco style and economic depression, is represented by the elegant, streamlined design of some of the dolls. In contrast, the 1940s, marked by World War II and its impact on American culture, is reflected in the more robust and expressive dolls. Arbo's Jointed Wooden Dolls are not only a testament to her artistic talent but also a glimpse into the heritage and history of American art. These dolls, which are now considered period items, were once cherished toys that brought joy and creativity to children during these two significant decades. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is fortunate to have this precious collection in its holdings, making it accessible for generations to come to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of Arelia Arbo's Jointed Wooden Dolls. This image serves as an invitation to explore the rich history and depth of American art and design during the 20th century.
