Lewis strips away anecdotal detail and allows scale, stance, and the surrounding field of color to carry the subject. The figure is not absorbed into a panoramic rural scene; the body occupies the picture with the force of a monument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat decision separates the work from sentimental images of agricultural labor. Lewis does not provide a picturesque landscape or a complete narrative. She gives sustained attention to the person whose work structures the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduction history\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDocumented impressions were printed by Wasserman Silkscreen Company in Santa Monica and bear the printer’s blind stamp. Auction records identify the image area as approximately 36 1\/8 × 18 inches within the larger sheet, confirming how deliberately the long vertical format was used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePrint and edition notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 2006 serigraph was issued in an edition of 60. Separate layers of screenprinted color create the broad fields and sharp contours that give the figure its weight at nearly one meter in height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eArtwork details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dr. Samella Lewis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Serigraph\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 × 22 in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unframed\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samella Lewis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46409799696428,"sku":"SL-010","price":6000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/7936\/1324\/files\/samella-lewis-the-farmer-full-composition.jpg?v=1792333532","url":"https:\/\/shop.samellalewis.com\/products\/the-farmer","provider":"Samella Lewis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
