Image of Spring Fever

Calvin Fletcher

American
(1882–1963)

Spring Fever
1955

Oil on masonite
27 x 32 in.
Museum Permanent Collection
1984.1135

Both Spring Fever and the nearby untitled painting of a farmer plowing his fields embrace a unique style that combines sharp, cubist angles with pointillist brushstrokes. Other American artists working in a similarly fractured style, like Charles Sheeler on the East Coast, tended to privilege industrial scenes completed in neutral palettes. Calvin’s deployment of vibrant, pastel colors and rural subjects underscores the buzzing energy of emergent spring.
