EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Toy Bank: Teddy and the Bear" takes us back to the 1930s and 1940s, showcasing a unique creation by Pearl Torell. The artwork is a mechanical bank that beautifully combines artistry with functionality. The image features an American Indian figure holding a gun at gunpoint towards a teddy bear, symbolizing the clash between indigenous culture and colonial influences during this period in America's history. The inclusion of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, known as Teddy Roosevelt, adds another layer of significance to the piece. Torell's use of watercolor and graphite on paperboard brings vibrant colors to life while maintaining an air of nostalgia. This work falls under the index of American design, representing not only artistic expression but also cultural heritage. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this toy bank serves as a testament to Torell's creativity and craftsmanship. It stands as a reminder of how toys can reflect larger societal issues such as war and warfare. As we admire this period item, we are transported back in time to witness both the beauty and complexity inherent in American history. Through Torell's intricate design, we are invited to contemplate our country's past while appreciating her skillful execution.
