EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Grant Wood's masterpiece, "Hired Man". Created with gouache and colored pencil on brown paper, this artwork measures 27.3 x 20.9 cm and is part of a private collection. Wood's attention to detail is evident in this early 20th-century depiction of an agricultural worker. The hired man, dressed in dungarees and a sunhat, sits outside against a yellow background. With his posture suggesting physical activity, he snacks from a pitcher while taking a break from his farm duties. The artist skillfully captures the essence of rural life during that time period through the man's expression and clothing choices. The use of vibrant colors adds depth to the scene, making it come alive. Wood's portrayal not only highlights the hard work and dedication of farmworkers but also provides insight into American history and culture at that time. This artwork serves as a reminder of the importance of these unsung heroes who played vital roles in sustaining our nation's agricultural industry. With its meticulous execution and evocative subject matter, "Hired Man" stands as another testament to Grant Wood's talent as an American artist. It continues to captivate viewers today by offering glimpses into an era long gone yet still resonating with authenticity and significance.
