"Pipe Fitters", 1951 Paean to the Working Man by Gere, Wisconsin Painter
About the Item
Although this painting dates to 1951, a few years after the Works Progress Administration (WPA) period ended in the 1940s, this tight composition of two pipe fitters doing their work in a cramped space is very much akin to America's Depression-era murals that celebrated the American worker. The painter was Byron Gere, who spent a few years working in New York, but is best known for depicting life and work in his native Wisconsin. He worked for the Western Printing & Lithographing Company and for the Western Advertising Agency in the 1940s, then became a full-time employee at Western Printing. He exhibited frequently across the Midwest, and his work is in the collection of the Milwaukee Art Institute. The painting is oil on Masonite, and is signed in the lower lefthand corner. Dimensions include the frame; visible painting is 35 inches high by 19 inches wide.

View All"Plowing at Sunrise, " Art Deco Paean to the Black Farmer, 1930s
By Willis Lohse
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Beautifully conceived, dramatically set and very finely painted, this gouache and ink painting by Willis R. Lohse is a paean to the hard work and nobility of the black farmer in America, hat in hand as he marvels at the beauty of the day. Full of lovely colors -- lemon yellow, cerulean and fresh green -- Lohse captures a lovely moment where the farmer pauses to look upward, amidst sprays of birch trees and expanses of rolling fields. Lohse was a German-American artist who is best known for his illustrations for fiction and fantasy books published between the 1920s and 1950s, including "The Boy Who Found the King," "Raff, the Jungle Bird...
