EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of a bygone era in American history - the late 1930s. Created by the talented artist Clementine Fossek, this artwork titled "State Bank #2" offers a unique perspective on the country's financial landscape during that time. The image showcases a beautifully designed coin bank, crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Its vibrant colors and intricate patterns reflect the decorative arts prevalent in the period. Fossek skillfully used watercolor gouache and pen and ink on paper to bring this piece to life. As we delve into this snapshot from our past, it becomes clear that banks held great significance in society at that time.
