EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Pa. German Carved Wooden Chicken, created by Robert Harlow around 1937, showcases the rich artistic heritage of Pennsylvania Dutch folk art. The multi-colored, wooden figure depicts a rooster with intricate carving details, making it a standout piece from the 1930s and 1940s in American decorative arts. Harlow's masterful use of watercolor and graphite on paperboard adds depth and texture to the chicken's vibrant plumage. Originating from the Pennsylvania Colony, also known as the Pennsylvania Dutch Country, this carved wooden chicken is a testament to the region's unique cultural traditions. The Pa. German community, with its strong ties to Europe, brought their distinctive woodcarving techniques to the United States, resulting in a rich body of work that continues to inspire artists and collectors today. As a period item, this wooden figure is an essential addition to any art center or gallery dedicated to American art and design. Its intricate carving and multicolored appearance make it a captivating conversation piece, inviting viewers to learn more about the history and significance of Pennsylvania Dutch folk art. The chicken, with its bold and expressive features, is a prime example of the decorative arts that flourished during the 1930s and 1940s in the United States. Its presence in a gallery or art center would not only add to the aesthetic appeal but also serve as an educational resource for visitors, providing insights into the artistic traditions of a bygone era.
