Additional Details: Paul Davis's 1983 offset lithograph, "The Bear Dance...Or Wall Street Jubilee II," measuring 24 x 18 inches, offers a satirical commentary on the financial markets. The term "bear" in finance denotes a market downturn, and Davis's depiction of bears dancing humorously illustrates the volatility and unpredictable nature of Wall Street. This artwork reflects the economic climate of the early 1980s, marked by market fluctuations and financial uncertainty. Through this piece, Davis critiques the exuberance and instability inherent in financial markets, using the metaphor of dancing bears to symbolize the precariousness of economic speculation.
