{"title":"Carlos Anderson or Andreson","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmerican painter, illustrator, and graphic designer, Carlos J. Anderson (1904–1978), is also known as Carlos Andreson. In the 1930s, Anderson emerged as a regionalist painter based in New York, capturing American life through his depictions of Utah pioneer buildings commissioned by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) and the Utah State Historical Society. His legacy endures through works preserved in key collections—the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Springville Museum of Art, and Utah’s state fine arts holdings.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"western-saga","title":"Western Saga","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background: white; mso-background-themecolor: background1;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; color: #333333; background: white;\"\u003eLithograph on wove paper.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;\"\u003eReference: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; color: #333333;\"\u003eWindisch, Cole, and Herbaugh 546.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; background: white;\"\u003eStated edition of 250, which is either an error, was never printed in those numbers, or has been lost in large part.

The melancholy in this sunset encounter of the famer’s wife bringing supper to her husband toiling in the field late into the evening is contrasted with their togetherness, echoed by the pair of horses standing side-by-side in the background. Such a moment certainly resonated with parents who had seen their sons off, headed for the faraway conflict.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background: white;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; color: #333333; background: white;\"\u003eSigned in pencil.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANDERSON or ANDRESON, Carlos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46767527067884,"sku":null,"price":550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2654\/1544\/files\/CarlosANDERSONorANDRESON-WesternSaga-Lithograph-1943-detail.jpg?v=1756333141"}],"url":"https:\/\/armstrongfineart.com\/collections\/carlos-anderson-or-andreson\/format_vertical-rectangle.oembed","provider":"Armstrong Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
