EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating graphite on paperboard drawing by Rollington Campbell, dates back to the 1930s. This intriguing artwork, a part of the rich artistic heritage of the United States, showcases the artist's exceptional talent for capturing the essence of a rooster in its most quintessential form. The image, reminiscent of the 1930s and 1940s, transports us to a simpler time in American history. Campbell's masterful use of graphite on paperboard brings to life a weather vane in the form of a proud, strutting rooster. With its sharp, angular features and piercing gaze, the cockerel exudes a sense of vitality and strength. The weather vane, a functional yet decorative object, has long been a symbol of good fortune and protection against the elements. Measuring approximately 12 inches by 15 inches, this scale drawing offers a glimpse into the artist's meticulous attention to detail. The index of American Design at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., has recognized the significance of this work, adding it to their esteemed collection. The weather vane, with its distinctive curved tail and outstretched wings, stands proudly atop a rustic, weathered post. The intricate details of the rooster's feathers, warts, and comb are rendered with remarkable precision, making this drawing a true testament to Campbell's artistic skill. This artwork, a treasure from the 20th century, is a must-see for anyone interested in the decorative arts, design, or the history of American art. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., invites visitors to explore the beauty and depth of "Weather Vane" by Rollington Campbell, a timeless masterpiece that continues to inspire and captivate.
