Ox Collar, 1938 - A Testament to Functional Art in American Agriculture
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of Alexander Anderson's "Ox Collar" created in 1938. As a celebrated artist and advocate for preserving America's rich heritage, Anderson beautifully captures the essence of animal husbandry and farming practices that were prevalent during this era. The ox collar itself is a testament to both form and function. Made from sturdy wood and metal components, it served as an essential tool for harnessing these powerful animals to plow fields or transport heavy loads across the country. The taupe-colored paint adds a touch of elegance while highlighting its utilitarian purpose. Anderson's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke captured on paper with watercolor graphite and gouache techniques. Through his artistry, he immortalizes not only the physical object but also pays homage to the hardworking farmers who relied on such equipment for their livelihoods. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this piece stands as an important part of America's artistic heritage. It serves as a reminder of our nation's agricultural roots, showcasing how functional objects can transcend their practicality and become works of art themselves. As we gaze upon this stunning image, let us appreciate the skillful blend of design and functionality that defined American agriculture during this period – an enduring symbol of innovation, resilience, and our connection to nature.
