Blythe, who lived in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, painted satires, mainly of urban ills, but in "Corn Husking," he portrayed their rural counterpart. The work depicts a sudden outbreak of violence on an eerie, moonlit night among a group of boys engaged in the taxing and tedious task of husking recently harvested corn. The farm is dilapidated and the farming implements are carelessly strewn around the property, conveying the harsh realities of the setting. Blythe pointedly made poverty and discord the crux of a theme that is usually associated with abundance and harmony.

Materials you can pick from

In the dropdown lists right next to the product you can select a material and a size of your choice. You can choose your your favorite size and material among the following options:

• Aluminium dibond print: An Aluminium Dibond print is a print material with an impressive depth - for a modern impression and a non-reflective surface structure. For your Print On Aluminum Dibond, we print the selected artpiece onto the aluminium composite surface. Colors are bright and luminous, the fine details of the print are clear and crisp.
• Printed poster (canvas material): The poster print is a printed cotton canvas with a granular surface finish. It is ideally suited for placing the art copy in a personal frame. Please keep in mind, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin 2-6cm around the painting, which facilitates the framing.
• The canvas print: The canvas print, which should not be confused with a painting on a canvas, is an image printed on a UV direct printing machine. How do I hang a canvas on the wall? Canvas prints are relatively low in weight. This means, it is easy to hang up your Canvas print without the use of any wall-mounts. A canvas print is suited for any type of wall.
• Print on acrylic glass: An acrylic glass print, which is sometimes described as a UV print on plexiglass, makes an original into stunning décor and is a distinct alternative option to dibond and canvas fine art replicas. The work of art is custom-made with modern UV printing machines. This has the image effect of impressive and vivid color tones. The major advantage of a plexiglass print is that contrasts and also granular details become more recognizeable because of the delicate tonal gradation of the picture.
