Doll, c. 1936 - A Glimpse into America's Cultural Heritage
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a remarkable creation by Florian Rokita, an artist who beautifully captured the essence of American culture in the mid-20th century. The doll, dating back to approximately 1936, is a testament to Rokita's artistic prowess and his ability to depict intricate details with watercolor graphite and gouache on paperboard. The doll itself exudes elegance and charm, dressed in a period costume that reflects the fashion trends of the era. With its cracked porcelain surface hinting at its age and history, this artifact serves as a tangible link to America's past. Rokita masterfully portrays the doll's features - delicate facial expressions framed by black hair - highlighting not only her beauty but also representing diversity within American society. This mixed-race representation challenges societal norms prevalent during that time period. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this item from their Index of American Design collection symbolizes our nation's rich heritage art. It stands as a reminder of how toys like these played an essential role in shaping cultural identity for children across different social backgrounds. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece created nearly a century ago, let us appreciate both its aesthetic value and historical significance. Florian Rokita invites us to explore our collective memory through his artistry while celebrating America's diverse tapestry woven together by countless stories like those embodied within this enchanting doll.
