Press 1938

Michael Fallon’s 1938 watercolor, “Press,” depicts a simple wooden press, likely used for pressing apples or other fruit for juice or cider. The realistic detail of the wood grain and the worn edges of the press suggest a focus on the object’s utility and history. The artist’s signature and the date appear in the lower right corner, giving viewers a sense of the work's creation and its role within the artist's career. This piece exemplifies Fallon's interest in everyday objects and their craftsmanship.
