Tools 1935 - 1942

"Tools" is a watercolor by Rose Campbell-Gerke created between 1935 and 1942. The composition features a pickaxe, a shovel, and a pan, all arranged in a simple, still-life style against a light background. The artwork's muted tones, subtle shadows, and detailed depiction of the tools suggest a focus on realism and a reverence for the objects themselves, emphasizing their significance as tools of labor. Campbell-Gerke's work often explored themes of everyday life, often with a focus on the tools and objects that surround us.
