This cast iron toy bank in the shape of Humpty Dumpty, created by American artist Lew Tower in 1937, is a vibrant and whimsical addition to any decorative arts collection. The 20th century piece, which dates back to the 1930s and 1940s, showcases Tower's exceptional skill in metalwork and design. The multi-colored Humpty Dumpty toy bank, with its intricate details and playful expression, is a testament to the artist's ability to blend function and art. The toy bank's body is made of cast iron, with watercolor, graphite, and pen and ink accents adding a pop of color and character. The iconic nursery rhyme character, Humpty Dumpty, is depicted in a seated position, holding out his arms as if ready to receive coins. The Humpty Dumpty toy bank is an important piece of American heritage art, and is a valuable addition to any art center or gallery. It is a period item that transports us back to a simpler time, a time when toys were not only functional but also works of art. The toy bank's intricate design and colorful details make it a standout piece, and a conversation starter in any room. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is home to this remarkable piece, which is a testament to the importance of preserving and showcasing American art and design from the 20th century. The Humpty Dumpty toy bank by Lew Tower is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for the decorative arts, and a reminder of the beauty and creativity that can be found in everyday objects.
