Untitled (Steer Wrestling at a Rodeo) c. 1940s

Fletcher Martin's "Untitled (Steer Wrestling at a Rodeo)" from the 1940s depicts the action and danger of a steer wrestling event. The cowboy is shown wrestling a steer to the ground, while a horse stands by, showcasing the skill and daring required in this rodeo event. The work is rendered in a bold and graphic style, characteristic of Martin's artistic practice, using flat colors and strong lines to capture the dynamism of the scene. The use of vibrant colors and simplified forms contributes to the artwork's striking visual impact.
