Connecticut Yankee 1932

"Connecticut Yankee" is a 1932 lithograph by Stevan Dohanos (1907-1994), showcasing a starkly rendered image of a farmer. The work captures a sense of isolation and resilience through the use of strong shadows and a limited palette of black and white. The figure is depicted standing against a dramatic background of stormy clouds, with a plow and other farming implements visible in the foreground. Dohanos' use of bold lines and strong contrasts emphasizes the rugged nature of the man and his work. The image exudes a sense of dignity and hard work, characteristic of American regionalism and the "American Scene" movement.
