Toy Bank - Frog, c. 1938 - A Nostalgic Reminder of American Folk Art
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a delightful piece of American folk art from the late 1930s. Created by Chris Makrenos, this charming toy bank in the shape of a frog captures the essence of that era's creativity and craftsmanship. Crafted from cast iron, this whimsical amphibian exudes both playfulness and functionality. Its vibrant colors bring it to life, with watercolor graphite and pen and ink on paperboard adding depth to its design. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke, making it an exquisite example of heritage art. The Toy Bank: Frog not only serves as a decorative object but also holds great significance as a symbol of finance and saving money during challenging times. This piggy bank-like creation encourages thriftiness while evoking fond memories for those who grew up during this period. Preserved within the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this artwork stands as a testament to Makrenos' artistic talent and his contribution to American culture. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the ingenuity behind everyday objects that were once cherished possessions. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, we are transported back in time – reminded of simpler days when toys like these brought joy into children's lives. Let us celebrate Chris Makrenos' skillful rendition that continues to captivate audiences with its timeless appeal.
