2024 post: Throughout 2024, we're looking back at the 100 year history of art at the Mulvane. "American Icons: Male, L 20th C" is by Kansas artist Margie Kuhn. She worked as a scientific illustrator for a time, and her artistic practice often focuses on the physical objects that people make and use. In this drawing, she depicts children’s toys laid out and labeled like artifacts or botanical samples. What do you think a future anthropologist might think about our society based on these toys?
