Straw Barracks 1931

"Straw Barracks" is a 1931 etching by American artist Daniel Garber (1880-1958). The print depicts a rural scene with a barn and a hay wagon in the foreground. The composition highlights the contrast between the smooth, polished surfaces of the barn and the rough texture of the straw. Garber’s detailed depiction of the hay, using cross-hatching techniques, brings a sense of realism to the artwork. The piece is a fine example of Garber's ability to capture the beauty of everyday life with masterful technique.
