EDITORS COMMENTS
This 20th century artwork, titled "Pa. German Pottery Bank" by William L. Antrim, dates back to approximately 1937. Antrim, an American artist, masterfully created this piece using watercolour gouache and graphite on paperboard. The image showcases a colorful and multicolored ceramic bank in the shape of a rooster, a common symbol in Pennsylvania German folk art. The intricate details of the bird's feathers, wattles, and comb are brought to life through Antrim's skilled use of watercolor. The pottery bank, which could have been used to save coins, is adorned with various decorative motifs, including geometric patterns and stylized flowers. The background of the artwork features a rustic, idyllic setting, with a tree and a few birds in the distance. The overall design exudes a charming, nostalgic feel, transporting us back to the 1930s and 1940s. The Pennsylvania Dutch, also known as the Pennsylvania Germans, are a cultural group that originated from the German-speaking regions of Europe and settled in Pennsylvania during the 18th and 19th centuries. Their rich heritage is reflected in the unique and distinctive decorative arts that emerged from this community. The Pa. German Pottery Bank by William L. Antrim is an excellent example of this vibrant and enduring artistic tradition. This artwork is an essential addition to any collection focusing on American decorative arts, the 1930s and 1940s, or the Pennsylvania German colony. It can be proudly displayed in art galleries, art centers, or museums, adding a touch of history, culture, and beauty to any space.
