About the Item
Painted by one of America's most important mural painters in the 1930s, this allegorical celebration of American agriculture was made by Edwin Boyd Johnson for a larger work that may never have been executed. Johnson is best known for a series of murals in Chicago; Melrose Park, East Aurora, and Tuscola, Illinois; Dickson, Tennessee; and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. One of his best -- "Mural Painting" -- is now held by the Krannert Art Museum at the University of Illinois. In this painting, Johnson shows a sun-bleached young blond man embracing a sheaf of wheat, the entire scene suffused with the golden glow of the sun and the fields. This is a multi-media work on paper, mounted on board. (Dimensions include the frame.)
