EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Penny Bank: Pig" created by Charles Henning in 1941. The artwork, a testament to American ingenuity and creativity of the 20th century, is on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington. In this close-up shot, we are drawn into the intricate details of Henning's masterpiece. The pig-shaped money box exudes an air of nostalgia with its golden color and charming design. Crafted with watercolor graphite and pen and ink on paperboard, every stroke reveals Henning's meticulous attention to detail. The piggy bank symbolizes not only a means for saving money but also represents a cultural heritage deeply rooted in American society. As we gaze upon this work of art, it evokes memories from a bygone era when children diligently saved their pennies for future dreams and aspirations. Henning's creation stands as a reminder that even small amounts can accumulate over time to create substantial savings. This whimsical yet practical object serves as an enduring symbol of financial responsibility. As we admire this piece within the hallowed halls of the National Gallery, we are reminded that art has always been intertwined with everyday life - transforming ordinary objects like pigs into extraordinary works that transcend time and place.
