EDITORS COMMENTS
This family portrait, titled "John J. Wagner Family," was created by self-taught artist Archie Thompson in the United States during the 1940s. The painting, executed in oil on board, depicts a heartwarming scene of the Wagner family, with the patriarch, John J., seated in the center, surrounded by his wife and their five children. The figures are rendered in a naive style, characterized by their simplified forms, bold colors, and expressive faces. Thompson's folk art painting is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 1940s in America. The scene is set in a rural location, with the family dressed in typical attire of the era. The children, with their rosy cheeks and bright eyes, exude a sense of innocence and joy, while the parents, with their stoic expressions, convey a sense of wisdom and stability. The painting is a precious document of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives of ordinary Americans during the 1940s. It is a reminder of the importance of family and the simple pleasures of rural life, which continue to resonate with us today. This artwork was once part of the Index of American Design, a comprehensive collection of American folk and decorative arts, and has been exhibited in various galleries and museums, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Archie Thompson's "John J. Wagner Family" is an invaluable addition to the historical record of American art and a source of inspiration for artists and collectors alike.
