Title of Work:	Side of a white barn

Index Words:	barn, architecture
Place:	Pennsylvania
Notes:	Sheeler's Precisionism is well described in the Getty Museum annotation to this fine print in which the texture of the hay-pile in the foreground counterpoints the regularity of the architecture. 'Lines and texture define this view of the side of a white barn. In the photographic rendering, the white barn is a soft gray, punctuated by knots in the wood and shadows cast by the uneven boards. In the lower right corner of the image, a small window, a fence, and a chicken standing atop a pile of hay add visual weight yet surrender to the repetitive, vertical domination of the structure. Like every other line, the horizontal line dividing the areas of wood and plaster is drawn without a straight edge.' The location is possibly Bucks County, Pennsylvania, since another Sheeler image from 1917 in the Getty collection shows an Amish buggy from that area.

Title of Work:	McVey's Barn
Date of Work:	1948
Medium:	tempera
Period/Style:	twentieth century
URL:	http://www.nbmaa.org/Gallery_htmls/wyeth.html#
Citation:	New Britain Museum of American Art
Index Words:	barn
Place:	Pennsylvania
Notes:	Painted in 1948, McVey's Barn depicts the interior of a dusty abandoned barn owned by Wyeth's Chadds Ford neighbor, John McVey. As is characteristic of Wyeth's painstakingly detailed paintings, McVey's Barn is dedicated to an accurate, almost tactile, description of the wild hay growing on the barn floor and the weathered wooden boards of the rafters and stalls. One can almost feel the warmth of the sun piercing through the window into the dusty atmosphere and smell the pungent odor of the hay. Yet despite the painting's vivid naturalism and its palpable sense of the here and now, the scene also contains a note of haunting melancholy. Stored in the rafters is an old sled, evoking memories of a distant past. Even more enigmatic is the windowpane-shaped beam of light that illuminates a covered wooden box. The sled and the coffin-shaped box hint at a hidden narrative, a deeper explanation for the picture beyond the realities of sunlight and texture. Yet, typically, Wyeth provides the viewer no answers. Death and decay is a major theme for Wyeth. In his works, vast open spaces, empty interiors, distorted space, or strange elongated angles become vehicles for discomforting emotions. Common or mundane objectsÑa bucket, basket, boat, or sledÑoften symbolize people not actually present in the picture. Stored-away objects, such as the sled, symbolize their absent owners and the passing of time. In this case, the barn evokes the memory of John McVey, who died shortly before Wyeth made this painting. What the painting does not record is the sled's rebirth. Wyeth himself has recounted that the new owner of McVey's farm took down the sleigh down and reupholstered it in bright red velvet. It was later seen in town as a storefront window Christmas decoration. Museum annotation.
