Tobacco Road 1944

"Tobacco Road" is a 1944 lithograph by American artist Philip Burnham Hicken (1910-1985). Depicting a simple, rural scene, the artwork showcases a farmhouse, a horse-drawn wagon, and outbuildings against a backdrop of a soft, purple-tinged sky. Hicken's use of bold colors and simplified forms creates a sense of realism and tranquility, making it an enduring example of American Regionalist art. The subject matter likely reflects the artist's interest in rural life and its themes of hard work and simplicity.
