Vose Galleries is pleased to present the exhibition Indefatigable Spirit: The American Work Ethic. Here, we have chosen to focus on the American worker, including subjects from fishermen managing the day’s haul, to farmers toiling in their fields, to carpenters and to shoe-shiners. Each painting illustrates the hard work and can-do attitude on which Americans have prided themselves for generations, capturing moments of daily life from different eras in American history. The people, and the environments in which they labor, illustrate the march of progress and encapsulate the American will to succeed. We hope 2019 brings you success and luck in all of your ventures, and hope you find some small amount of inspiration in this collection of American works of art.

Horace R. Burdick (1844-1942), 'Haying in Wartime', circa 1890, oil on paper on board, 18 x 23 ¾ inches
