Cock Weather Vane, c. 1939 Creator: Joseph Stonefield (1898-1965) Description: This black and white graphite drawing on paperboard, created by American artist Joseph Stonefield in the late 1930s, showcases a charming and intricately detailed depiction of a cock weather vane. The weather vane, a classic Americana symbol, features a proud and alert rooster perched atop a curved metal rod. The rooster's vibrant red comb and wattles contrast sharply against the monochromatic background, adding a pop of color and energy to the piece. The 20th century artwork, which belongs to the Index of American Design, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and design sensibilities of the United States during the 1930s. The weather vane, a practical yet ornamental object, was a common sight in rural and suburban areas of the country, serving as both a functional weather indicator and an iconic representation of rural life. This drawing is not only an artistic expression but also an important historical artifact, reflecting the period's design aesthetics and the role of animals in American folklore and symbolism. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. houses this precious piece in its extensive collection, making it accessible for art enthusiasts and scholars to appreciate the beauty and significance of this unique and captivating artwork.
