Untitled (Haywagon) c. 1930s

"Untitled (Haywagon)" is a lithograph created by American artist Eric Algot Bengtz in the 1930s. The artwork depicts a scene of rural life with three individuals resting on a hay wagon. The composition is dominated by the figures, who are positioned in a relaxed and contemplative manner, suggesting a moment of respite from labor. Bengtz's masterful use of shading and detail lends a sense of realism to the figures and the surrounding landscape, capturing the essence of a typical day in the fields during the era. The work is considered to be a significant example of American Regionalism, a style that emphasized the portrayal of everyday life in specific regions of the country.
