Crock c. 1937

John Fisk's "Crock" (c. 1937) is a detailed watercolor depiction of a stoneware crock. Fisk captures the utilitarian nature of the crock, highlighting its simple form and the decorative blue-and-white house design. The artist also provides a close-up view of the crock's handle, emphasizing its craftsmanship. "Crock" is a testament to Fisk's keen eye for detail and his ability to transform everyday objects into art. The work is an excellent example of still life painting, a genre that focuses on the representation of inanimate objects.
