Artist, American, 1896 - 1992

The image shows a rural landscape with a farmer driving a tractor in a field of young crops. On the right, a line of cars, one with an American flag, moves forward. A farmhouse, barns, and a windmill are visible, and the land undulates with more farmland and buildings in the distance. The high horizon is under a dramatic sky with sunlight breaking through clouds in a monochromatic palette, creating a stark and timeless scene of rural life.
