Bishop Hill - Flail, c. 1939
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the heart of American agriculture in the early 20th century. Created by Archie Thompson, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of rural life during a time when farming was at its peak. The image showcases an agricultural implement known as a flail, which was commonly used for threshing grain and separating it from the husks. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of watercolor and graphite on paperboard, bringing out the texture and functionality of this essential tool. Located within Bishop Hill, a tight-knit community deeply rooted in their country heritage, this artwork serves as both a historical record and a celebration of American craftsmanship. It reflects not only the practicality but also the artistic design inherent in everyday objects from that era. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , "Bishop Hill: Flail" stands as part of an extensive collection called Index of American Design. This collection pays homage to period items that played significant roles in shaping America's cultural identity. Archie Thompson's work invites viewers to appreciate not only his artistic talent but also highlights how tools like these were vital components for sustaining communities across rural America during challenging times. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back to an era where hard work and ingenuity went hand-in-hand with creating prosperous lives on American soil.
