About the Item
This classic example of Social Realist art was painted by Rollin Crampton as a study for a WPA mural -- perhaps never executed -- in the 1930s, when he was served as supervisor of the New York City WPA (Works Progress Administration) Art Project during the depths of the Great Depression. Like many of his contemporaries, Crampton celebrated the American farm -- and farm worker -- in this painting, depicting an array of activities that seem to revolve around livestock production. To the left, a worker is pouring feed into a wheelbarrow, and to the right another worker is mastering a large sheaf of hay next to a water trough. Another two workers seem to be repairing a length of metal, perhaps the outer rim of one of the cart's wheels, shown behind. The entire composition has a lovely, muted color scheme, probably from the use of tempera paint over gessoed panel. Crampton later became known for his abstract painting, but the foundation of his career was laid when he was deeply immersed in the WPA. (Dimensions include frame.)
