EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving by Stevan Dohanos takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of a State Fair in 1948. The image is filled with an array of sights and activities that define this quintessentially American event. In the foreground, we see a group of men gathered around a barn, engrossed in conversation. They are likely exhibitors, proudly showcasing their livestock or agricultural products for judging. The attention to detail in depicting the various animals - from cows to chickens - highlights the importance placed on rural life and farming during this era. Beyond the barn, we catch glimpses of other fair attractions. A carousel can be seen spinning merrily in the distance, while textile displays flutter gently in the breeze nearby. These elements remind us that state fairs were not just about agriculture; they were also social gatherings where people could enjoy amusement rides and admire local craftsmanship. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to each scene within this print. It captures both the excitement and tranquility found at such events - bustling crowds juxtaposed against peaceful moments shared between farmers discussing their trade. Dohanos' wood engraving transports us back to mid-century America when state fairs played a significant role in celebrating rural life and fostering community connections. This timeless artwork serves as a nostalgic reminder of our nation's rich agricultural heritage and its enduring traditions.
