farmland-of-yesteryear-print-of-an-original-painting

A pastoral scene painted with the precision of someone who worked the land or grew up near people who did — the furrows run correctly, the crops are at the right stage, the distance between the farmstead and the horizon feels accurate rather than composed. Czimber understood that this kind of agricultural scene had historical weight as well as visual appeal: the farming practices he recorded in the 1940s and 1950s were already disappearing when he painted them.
