American Ink Drawing of Two Work Horses

20th Century

About the Item

Untitled (Two Workhorses), c. 20th Century Ink on paper Sight: 4 x 4 3/4 in. Framed: 7 5/8 x 8 3/8 x 1/2 in. Initialed lower left: W.H.H.S. This ink drawing masterfully captures to work horses, employed pulling a cart. Prior to 1910, the horse was the main source of power for agriculture, the military, public works industries, and transportation. They were an integral part of the nation's Westward expansion, their strength proving invaluable in plowing untouched lands and hauling building materials. Even though America came to rely heavily on the draft horse, its popularity waned as the 20th century progressed due to an influx of European laborers that accounted for a surplus of workers, and the invention of both the car and the Fordson Tractor of 1917.

    Jane Wooster Scott (American, b. 1920) Untitled (Cats), 20th century Watercolor on paper Sight size: 10 x 14 in. Framed: 17 x 20 3/4 in. Signed lower left: Wooster In the "Guinness Book of Records" as one of the most reproduced artists in America, Jane Wooster Scott began copying work by folk artists such as Grandma Moses and gradually evolved into her own style. A turning point for her career was a joint showing at the Ankrum Gallery in Los Angeles with her comedian friend, Jonathan Winters. It was mostly a business crowd, and she sold 40 paintings in an hour. Scott grew up in the Philadelphia area and moved West following her dream to be a movie star. She quickly learned that goal was not for her, but became the host of a talk show where she interviewed movie stars. Then she married and quit that work, becoming a full-time mother. Currently (2002) she resides in homes in Los Angeles and Sun Valley...
