"Century of the Child-Growing By Design, 1900-2000" is the name of one of the exhibits I visited today at the Museum of Modern Art. The emphasis is on the preoccupation of childhood during the 20th. century. Along with the myriad toys and games featured, there was also school architecture, clothing playgrounds etc. The objects ranged from colorful, harmless toys to more serious ones with overtones of politics such as war toys.
I find old style toys particularly interesting and try to incorporate them into some of my assemblages as shown above.
