About this work
A.Y. Jackson, an employee of Sampson-Matthews, instigated the wartime silkscreen art program and was its biggest contributor, providing 12 works throughout the run of the program. In many of these works, the presence of man is evident but shown in small scale compared to the dominance of nature. The presence of man in Jackson’s “Gold Mine” (1953-1957), however, is made forceful along a barren riverbank as the land gives way to human industry.
