Description

Farmyard (est. 1930)
By Peter Helck (1893-1988)
15 x 21 in., ink wash on board
Peter Helck was born in New York City in 1893. He studied art at the Art Students League in Manhattan and later studied in England with muralist Frank Brangwyn.

From the 1920's through the 1940's Helck was a successful as a magazine illustrator and advertising artist, and this is typical of his work from this early period.

His commissions were increasingly of industrial scenes, or featured cars, trucks and locomotives. In the 1930s, he also painted pictures of famous automobile races – having been an avid fan of the sport since childhood. In 1944 he did a series of paintings for Esquire magazine in which he recreated the excitement of automobile races from the first decades of the 20th century. To his great satisfaction, these pictures proved very popular, and in the following decades he developed a large market for paintings of old cars. It is for this genre that he is mostly remembered today.
