Weather Vane Cock, c. 1936 Artist: Rollington Campbell (1901-1984) Description: This graphite on paper drawing, created by American artist Rollington Campbell in the mid-1930s, depicts a weather vane cock or rooster. The image captures the essence of this functional yet decorative object, which was commonly used as a finial on barns, farmhouses, and other rural structures to indicate wind direction. Campbell's intricate and detailed drawing showcases the bird's vibrant plumage, with its red comb, wattles, and tail feathers contrasting against the white body. The artist's masterful use of graphite creates a striking and lifelike representation of the weather vane cock, capturing its unique character and charm. This drawing is an excellent example of the artist's work during the 1930s and 1940s, a period when he focused on creating detailed drawings of Americana subjects. The image is also a testament to the rich heritage of folk art and decorative arts in the United States during this time. Measuring approximately 11 x 9 inches (28 x 23 cm), this scale drawing is a valuable addition to any collection of American art, particularly those focusing on the Index of American Design or the Decorative Arts. It is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., where it can be admired by visitors from around the world. The Weather Vane Cock drawing is a reminder of a simpler time in American history, when functional objects were often imbued with artistic significance and beauty. Campbell's skillful representation of this iconic American symbol continues to captivate and inspire viewers today.
