L'Icône Subversive
Available · one owner onlyArchive note
A porcelain figurine from the 1960s, originally manufactured as a decorative children's collectible, repurposed here as an artifact of silent protest. The figure—a cherubic boy in a Breton shirt and beret, holding a hand-lettered protest sign—was discovered in the archives of a defunct Parisian toy factory and exhibited as evidence of covert political messaging embedded in domestic objects. Speaks to collectors of toy history, Cold War ephemera, and the intersections between kitsch and dissent.
