| From the book "Threshing Days: The Farm Paintings of Lavern Kammerude". Text by Chester Garthwaite. This scene was painted by Lavern Kammerude (1915-1989), of Blanchardville, Wisconsin, in 1987. The original was commissioned by artist's agent, Gerald Regan, for reproduction purposes, but was too big, so Regan commissioned a shorter but similar piece and sold this to the Wisconsin Folklife Center. It was later transferred to Wisconsin Folk Museum, then was acquired by the State Bank of Mount Horeb from the Folk Museum in 1996. |
