Celery Workers 1945

"Celery Workers" is a 1945 etching by American artist Jeannette Maxfield Lewis (1894-1982). The artwork depicts a group of workers harvesting celery in a field, showcasing their labor in a rural setting. The composition features a striking contrast between the figures in the foreground and the vast, cloudy sky in the background, which adds to the drama and emphasizes the importance of human labor in the natural world. This piece is a testament to Lewis's skill in capturing the details of daily life and the beauty of the American landscape.
