Weather Vane
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating graphite on paper drawing by the American artist Rollington Campbell, created in the mid-20th century during the 1930s or 1940s. This intriguing work of art depicts a decorative weather vane in the form of a graceful deer, with its antlers reaching upwards and its body poised in a natural, alert stance. The weather vane, a functional and ornamental object commonly used to indicate wind direction, adds a touch of rural charm and heritage to any location. Measuring approximately 11 x 14 inches (28 x 35.5 centimeters) in scale, this meticulously detailed drawing is a testament to Campbell's exceptional drafting skills. The weather vane's intricate design elements, such as the delicate lines of the antlers and the subtle textures of the deer's coat, are rendered with remarkable precision and artistry. This drawing is an excellent representation of the decorative arts of the 1930s and 1940s in the United States, a period marked by a renewed interest in traditional craftsmanship and a desire to preserve the country's artistic heritage. The Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts, has recognized the importance of this work and included it in its collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. As a standalone artwork, "Weather Vane" is a beautiful and evocative piece that transports viewers to a simpler time, while also serving as an intriguing historical artifact. Whether displayed in an art center, gallery, or private collection, this drawing is sure to capture the attention and admiration of all who see it.
