EDITORS COMMENTS
This graphite on paperboard drawing, titled "Weather Vane - Cock" by Rollington Campbell, dates back to the 1930s and offers a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of America during the 20th century. The image depicts a proud and alert rooster, or cockerel, standing atop a weather vane. The intricately detailed drawing showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of the bird's form and character. The weather vane, a functional and decorative object commonly used to indicate wind direction, adds an interesting layer to this artwork. The rooster, a symbol of vigilance and the dawn of a new day, is a fitting choice for such a purpose. The weather vane's simple yet elegant design complements the bold lines and dynamic energy of the rooster. This drawing is a testament to the artistic talent and creativity that thrived in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s. It is an important addition to the Index of American Design, a comprehensive catalog of American decorative arts and crafts from the Colonial period to the 1940s. Measuring approximately 12.7 x 16.5 inches (32.3 x 41.9 cm), this scale drawing is a valuable resource for scholars and art enthusiasts interested in the history of American art and design. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this artwork in its collection, making it accessible to the public for appreciation and study. Rollington Campbell's "Weather Vane - Cock" is not only a beautiful work of art but also a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and influence contemporary art and design.
