Deer Weather Vane c. 1938

"Deer Weather Vane" is a pencil drawing by Helen Hobart, created around 1938. The work depicts a stylized deer in profile, its antlers extending upwards and its body rendered in a flat, graphic style. The design evokes a weather vane, a practical object that would have been common in rural America during the time of its creation. Hobart's work is characterized by a focus on natural forms, and "Deer Weather Vane" exemplifies her interest in the intersection of art and everyday objects. The drawing is a study of form and function, demonstrating the beauty inherent in even the most utilitarian objects.
