Hasp from Door of "Kennedy Farm" 1935 - 1942

This watercolor by Albert Rudin, created between 1935 and 1942, depicts a hasp from the door of "Kennedy Farm." The artwork captures the detail of the rusted metal hasp and accompanying nails in a minimalist style. Rudin's focus on everyday objects reflects the Precisionist movement of the early 20th century, which emphasized clarity, detail, and geometric forms. The artwork's simplicity and focus on the commonplace underscore the beauty and significance found in ordinary things.
