EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate details of a Cock Weather Vane, created by Gordon Sanborn in 1937. The weather vane stands tall against the backdrop of a rustic country landscape, symbolizing both functionality and artistic expression. Sanborn's graphite on paper artwork showcases his keen eye for detail and craftsmanship. Every feather on the cockerel is meticulously rendered, capturing its regal stature and proud demeanor. This artifact from the 1930s reflects an era when weather vanes were not only practical instruments but also decorative elements that added charm to American homes. The National Gallery of Art in Washington proudly displays this period item as part of its Index of American Design collection. It serves as a testament to America's rich cultural heritage and artistic legacy. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where handcrafted objects held great significance. The cockerel atop the weather vane represents more than just a rooster; it embodies the spirit of rural America - hardworking, resilient, and deeply connected to nature. Gordon Sanborn's creation reminds us that art can be found even in everyday objects like weather vanes. This photograph invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical value as an integral part of our nation's artistic narrative.
