EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hitching Post, c. 1938" by George File takes us back to the heart of American agriculture in the 1930s. The image showcases a man standing proudly next to a rustic hitching post, embodying the spirit of hard work and resilience that defined this era. Dressed in his breeches and coat, the man exudes a sense of purpose as he leans against the post with his top hat perched atop his head. His attire reflects both practicality and style, capturing the essence of rural life during this time. George File's pen and ink drawing skillfully brings out every detail of this scene, from the texture on the man's jacket to the intricate design on the hitching post itself. The use of watercolor gouache adds depth and dimension to this vintage artwork. Displayed at an art gallery or art center, this piece serves as a reminder of America's rich agricultural heritage. It transports viewers to a simpler time when men like him played vital roles in shaping their communities through hard work and dedication. As we gaze upon this remarkable creation from George File's collection for Index of American Design at National Gallery of Art Washington, we are reminded not only of our nation's history but also how art can beautifully capture moments that would otherwise be lost to time.
