EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Picking Cotton, c. 1890" transports us back to a pivotal era in American history. Painted by Gilbert Gaul, this oil on academy board masterpiece measures 33.7 x 46.4 cm and is part of the Corcoran Collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , USA. The painting depicts a scene from the American South, where African American farm workers labor under the scorching sun in cotton fields. The realism captured by Gaul's brushstrokes allows us to witness their manual labor and feel their resilience amidst challenging conditions. In this snapshot of rural life, we see a farmhouse in the background, symbolizing both shelter and isolation for these hardworking individuals. The image portrays an agricultural landscape with rows upon rows of cotton plants stretching into the distance—a testament to America's reliance on this crop during that time. Gaul's portrayal highlights not only the physicality of picking cotton but also sheds light on social dynamics prevalent during this period. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by black laborers who played an integral role in shaping America's economy while enduring racial discrimination. As we gaze upon this powerful artwork, we are transported to a sunny day filled with intense heat—immersing ourselves momentarily into history through MZpainting’s expert reproduction brought to us by Bridgeman Images.
