I have always loved anything Americana (revealing, of course, my origin from outside, where the myth shines more enticingly. This is a still life composed of some farm life essentials--bales of cloth, an iron, soapflakes, and a vessel that looks like it might have been doubling as an umbrella-stand and door-holder for ninety years before geing dragged to the Antiques Roadshow for Show & Tell. It reminds me of Little House on the Prairie (not the books, of course, it's America after all, but the Michael Landon tv series, which i adored as a child. So there you have me in nutshell-- Wonder Woman, Little house on the prairie, Magritte and the Met--c'est moi 🙂
