Crock c. 1941

"Crock" is a black and white line drawing of a ceramic crock by John Tarantino, c. 1941. The artwork depicts a stylized bird perched on a branch with leaves and berries. The drawing style is simple, featuring bold lines and minimal detail, evoking a sense of rustic charm. The stamp on the crock, reading "W.A. White & Son Utica N.Y," suggests that the artwork is a representation of a specific product, perhaps a vintage kitchenware item. This piece, with its focus on a common object, exemplifies Tarantino's interest in depicting everyday life.
