America-R.F.D. c. 1938

"America-R.F.D." is a graphite drawing by American artist Coreen Mary Spellman, created around 1938. The artwork depicts a rural American scene, featuring a pair of mailboxes on wooden posts with the inscription "R.M. Lohm" visible on one. The setting is enhanced by the presence of power lines and two cars parked in the distance, hinting at the modern world encroaching on the rural landscape. Spellman's meticulous detail and use of shading contribute to the image's realistic portrayal of everyday life in rural America. This piece, part of the American Scene movement, captures a moment in American history, reflecting the changing landscape of rural communities in the late 1930s.
