"Agriculture, " Bronze, Allegorical Art Deco Sculptural Relief Celebrating Labor
About the Item
A Classic example of WPA-era sculpture celebrating the worker, this beautiful bronze bas relief depicts a shirtless laborer in the fields, with a scythe in one hand and a sheaf of wheat in the other. The figure is stylized and the wheat even more so, the heads of grain having a chiseled, almost machine-like quality that makes the sculpture very modern in feeling.
