Barn Decoration, c. 1938
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Walter Hochstrasser captures the essence of rural life in America during the 1930s. This close-up photograph print showcases a stunning architectural feature on a barn, adorned with intricate and affectionate decorative arts. Hochstrasser's artistry beautifully combines watercolor, graphite, and gouache on paperboard to bring this piece to life. The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail highlight the artist's skillful technique. In this artwork, two majestic horses take center stage as they gracefully pose for the viewer. Their powerful presence symbolizes the integral role of animals in agriculture and their significance within American heritage. The barn itself stands as a testament to country living, exuding rustic charm that transports us back to simpler times. It serves not only as shelter for livestock but also as a canvas for artistic expression – an embodiment of creativity amidst agricultural landscapes. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , "Barn Decoration" is part of Hochstrasser's contribution to the Index of American Design collection. Through his pencil drawing and gouache application, he immortalizes an era defined by hard work, love for animals, and appreciation for traditional craftsmanship. This artwork invites us into a world where nature meets artistry; where rural landscapes become galleries themselves. As we admire Hochstrasser's masterpiece today, it reminds us of our deep-rooted connection with our surroundings and how art can capture both beauty and history simultaneously.
