EDITORS COMMENTS
This graphite on paperboard drawing, titled "Cock Weather Vane" by Rollington Campbell, dates back to the 1930s. The intricately detailed artwork depicts a proud and alert rooster, standing atop a weathered, circular base. The cockerel's vibrant, red comb and wattles contrast sharply against the muted, earthy tones of the background, adding a pop of color to this functional, yet decorative piece. Campbell, an American artist of the 20th century, masterfully captured the essence of this iconic bird, which was commonly used as a weather vane in rural areas of the United States during the 1930s, 1940s, and beyond. The rooster's regal posture and piercing gaze convey a sense of strength and resilience, making it an enduring symbol of the countryside and the changing seasons. Measuring approximately 12 x 15 inches (30.5 x 38.1 cm), this scale drawing is a testament to Campbell's exceptional drafting skills and his ability to bring a seemingly ordinary object to life. The artwork is now part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American decorative arts, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. As a standalone piece or as part of a larger collection, "Cock Weather Vane" serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States and the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places. This drawing invites viewers to appreciate the simple pleasures of rural life and the enduring allure of the natural world.
