Weather Vane - Cock, c. 1938, by Helen Hobart This evocative graphite drawing on paperboard by American artist Helen Hobart, created in the 1930s, captures the essence of a classic weather vane in the form of a proud and alert rooster. The image transports us back in time to a simpler era, evoking the charm and character of rural America during the 20th century. The cockerel, with its distinctive red comb and wattles, stands tall against a plain background, its beady eyes fixed intently forward as if scanning the horizon for signs of approaching weather. The intricate details of its feathers, textured and lifelike, add depth and dimension to the drawing, making it a captivating work of art in its own right. Weather vanes, such as this one, have long been a part of American culture and heritage. Once a common sight atop barns and farmhouses, they served not only as functional tools for predicting the weather but also as symbols of good luck and protection. This drawing, with its charming depiction of a rooster weather vane, serves as a reminder of this rich cultural tradition. As a period item, this drawing holds great historical significance and is a valuable addition to any collection of American art or folk art. Its inclusion in the Index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., further attests to its importance as a representation of American art and heritage. This beautiful and intriguing work by Helen Hobart is a must-see for anyone interested in the arts, design, or the history of American country life.
