Cast Iron Pigeon c. 1936

"Cast Iron Pigeon" is a watercolor drawing by Rex F. Bush, created around 1936. The artwork depicts a stylized cast iron pigeon, rendered in detail. The pigeon is shown in profile, perched on a flat base. Bush's precise, almost mechanical style, is evident in the way he captures the intricate details of the bird's form. This drawing, likely a design study, highlights Bush's interest in both nature and industrial design, as he combines elements of both in this charming depiction of a common bird.
