EDITORS COMMENTS
Pitch Fork" is a captivating work of art by Earl Butlin, created in the mid-20th century, around 1937. The image showcases a pitchfork in various stages of production, from the initial design on paper to the finished tool in vibrant colors. Butlin's masterful use of watercolor, graphite, and colored pencil brings the intricacies of this essential farm implement to life. Butlin's composition highlights the beauty and functionality of the pitchfork, a tool that has been an integral part of American agriculture since the colonial era. The artist captures the essence of the tool's design, from the curved tines that effortlessly scoop up hay or harvest crops to the sturdy handle that provides a firm grip. This artwork is a testament to the rich heritage of American decorative arts and design. It is a period piece that transports us back to the 1930s and 1940s, a time when rural life and agricultural labor were central to the American experience. Butlin's "Pitch Fork" is not only a functional tool but also a work of art that celebrates the ingenuity and creativity of American craftsmanship. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is fortunate to have this artwork in its collection, a reminder of the importance of preserving the artistic and historical record of American life. The Gallery's Index of American Design, which includes this work, is a significant resource for scholars and enthusiasts of American art and material culture. Butlin's "Pitch Fork" is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of American art, design, and rural life. It is a beautiful and functional object that transcends its practical purpose, inviting us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into its creation.
