EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Broad Axe (circa 1956)" we are transported back in time to the quaint village of New Salem, Illinois. The image beautifully captures a moment frozen in history, as a sturdy broad axe finds its resting place on a weathered split-rail fence. The square format enhances the composition, drawing our attention to the intricate details of both the tool and the fence. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth and texture to this monochromatic masterpiece by George Pickow. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost feel the weight of the axe in our hands and hear echoes of hard work that once filled these North American lands. It serves as a reminder of an era when tools like these were essential for survival and progress. This image evokes a sense of nostalgia, transporting us to simpler times when craftsmanship was valued above all else. It is a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness - an ode to those who built their dreams upon foundations made with their own hands. George Pickow's talent shines through his ability to capture not just an object but also its historical significance. Through his lens, he invites us into this forgotten corner of America's past, where even humble tools like axes hold stories waiting patiently to be told.
