EDITORS COMMENTS
Weather Vane - Cock" is a captivating graphite on paper drawing by the American artist Rollington Campbell, created between the 1930s and 1940s. This intriguing artwork depicts a weathered and elegant rooster, or cockerel, standing proudly atop a weather vane. The rooster's intricate feathers are meticulously rendered in graphite, capturing the natural textures and curves of the bird's body. The weather vane, a functional and decorative object commonly used to indicate wind direction, adds an interesting element to the composition. The rooster's position atop the vane suggests a connection between the natural world and the elements, as well as a nod to the rural heritage of America during this period. This artwork is an excellent representation of the Index of American Design, a project initiated by the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930s and 1940s. The Index aimed to document and preserve American decorative arts and crafts through drawings and photographs. Measuring approximately 11 x 14 inches (28 x 35.6 cm), this scale drawing is a testament to Campbell's skill and attention to detail. The artwork is currently part of the collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., USA, and serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the United States during the 20th century. Whether admired for its historical significance or its aesthetic appeal, "Weather Vane - Cock" is a captivating work of art that invites viewers to explore the connection between nature, design, and American heritage.
