EDITORS COMMENTS
Oxen Yoke" is a captivating work of art created by Earl Butlin in the mid-1930s, showcasing the artist's exceptional skill in carving and his deep connection to American heritage. Butlin, an accomplished woodcarver, expertly combined materials of wood and metal to create this functional yet artistic piece. The yoke, a traditional farming implement used to harness oxen, is depicted in all its glory, with intricate designs etched into the wooden beams and metal accents adding a touch of elegance. The image transports us back in time to the 1930s and 1940s in the United States, a period marked by rural life and simple living. The use of natural materials, such as wood and metal, adds to the authenticity of the piece, making it a valuable addition to any art collection. Butlin's "Oxen Yoke" is a testament to the beauty and functionality of rural life in America during the 20th century. The work is a prime example of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive documentation of American decorative arts and folk art, which was initiated by the Federal Art Project during the Great Depression. This stunning piece, with its rich history and intricate details, is a must-see for anyone interested in American art, folk art, or the history of rural life in the United States. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is fortunate to have this period item in its collection, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the country's artistic and cultural heritage. Whether viewed as a work of art or a functional object, "Oxen Yoke" is a masterpiece that transcends time and continues to captivate and intrigue viewers with its intricate design and historical significance.
