Weather Vane c. 1936

"Weather Vane" is a pencil drawing on paper by English artist Bernard Westmacott, created in 1936. It depicts a detailed silhouette of an angel, with wings spread, blowing a trumpet, a design possibly meant for a weather vane. The image is rendered in gray tones and is characterized by Westmacott's signature stylized, almost architectural, approach to line. The simplicity of the design and the use of silhouette evokes a sense of classical influence, highlighting the artist's focus on form and structure. This drawing provides insight into Westmacott's artistic approach and his fascination with design elements that hold both visual and practical appeal.
