Tumbling Farmyard 1939

"Tumbling Farmyard" is a 1939 lithograph by Alexander Oja (1903-1976). The work depicts a rural scene with a farm nestled against a steep, rocky hillside. The artist uses a dark, tonal palette to create a sense of depth and atmosphere, emphasizing the solidity of the farm buildings against the surrounding landscape. Oja's printmaking skills are evident in the detail of the farm's structures and the lush vegetation. This evocative portrayal of a traditional American farm setting is a testament to Oja's skill as a printmaker and his keen observation of the rural landscape.
