Fisherman's Paradise, 1941
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas painting by John Carleton Atherton. This rustic still life scene takes us back to a simpler time, where the beauty of nature and the art of fishing intertwine. The composition showcases a plain wood wall against a vibrant green floor, creating an earthy backdrop for the focal point of the artwork. A brown fishing pole tube with a leather latch hangs on the wall, hinting at countless adventures and stories waiting to be told. A fishing reel with its line stretched up the wall and secured by a couple of tacks adds depth and realism to this trompe l'oeil masterpiece. Nearby, feathers and fly hooks are meticulously arranged, ready to entice any fish that may cross their path. One striking element is the cut-out fish made from birch bark hanging delicately on a white piece of paper. It serves as both an artistic expression and homage to nature's wonders. This painting transports us into an optical experiment where we can almost feel ourselves in this idyllic setting. It captures not only the essence of fishing but also evokes nostalgia for simpler times when patience was rewarded with bountiful catches. Displayed at Shelburne Museum in Vermont, USA, "Fisherman's Paradise" invites viewers to appreciate both Atherton's skillful technique and his ability to capture moments frozen in time.
