Artist, American, 1904 - 1990

The image shows a farmer operating a plow in a field. The viewpoint is from just behind the farmer, emphasizing the furrows in the plowed earth extending towards the horizon. The horizon is positioned high in the image where the field meets a dark band of land with silhouettes of buildings and trees. The style is like a woodcut or linocut, with bold lines highlighting the plowed soil and the figure guiding the plow. The color palette is monochromatic, with deep blacks and whites creating strong contrasts that enhance the depth and direction in the image. Birds are scattered across the sky in the distance.
