Windmill Counterbalance, c. 1938 - A Rustic Reflection of Rural Life in America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the artistic brilliance of Wilbur M Rice and offers a glimpse into the rural landscapes of 1930s America. Titled "Windmill Counterbalance" this artwork captures the essence of agricultural heritage with its intricate design and attention to detail. In this piece, Rice skillfully combines watercolor graphite and colored pencil on paper to create a stunning portrayal of a windmill counterbalance. The use of soft greys and subtle colors adds depth and dimension to the image, evoking a sense of nostalgia for simpler times. The focal point is undoubtedly the majestic rooster perched atop the counterbalance, symbolizing both nature's resilience and man's reliance on animals in farming communities. Surrounding it are various birds that add an element of liveliness to the scene, further emphasizing the harmony between humans, animals, and nature. Rice's work exemplifies regionalism by capturing not only a functional object but also encapsulating an entire way of life deeply rooted in American culture. This artifact from our past serves as a reminder of our connection to agriculture and rural traditions that have shaped our nation. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art Washington as part of their Index Of American Design collection, this print invites viewers to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance. It transports us back to an era when windmills dotted expansive farmlands across America - silent witnesses to hard work
