History
  • Created in the 1940s, the artwork reflects the aesthetic sensibilities and cultural themes prevalent during the WPA era, which aimed to promote art access and economic recovery through creative work.
  • The unsung artist of this piece, despite being anonymous, contributes to the rich tapestry of American art history, where many skilled individuals worked under the WPA on similar projects.
  • The sundial itself symbolizes the emphasis on nature and the passage of time, two themes often explored in mid-20th-century art, which sought to connect viewers with the world around them.
