Description
This isn't just a pretty face, it's one of the most widely recognized graphic symbols of the modern era. Popularized in the United States in the 1960's by graphic artist Harvey Ball, the smiley face is represented in the Smithsonian's collections as an example of American design.
Here the smiley face takes 3D form as a softly glowing mini lamp, just a little bigger than a softball. It's a simple, cheerful piece to use as a kid's nightlight, a lighthearted gift for a friend, or a quirky example of mid 20th-century visual culture.
