Description |
"The Rescue" by Edith Ford, c. 1970s-1980s. Watercolor on paper depicts a rescue by helicopter. The figurative scene shows a dark sky in which a helicopter hovers above three figures. Two figures sit and one stands on what appears to be a raft made with shards of wood. The standing figure wears a red jacket and blue pants. The seated figure at left wears a blue-green jacket and the other seated figure on right has an orange jacket. All three face away from the viewer looking up toward the helicopter. Yellow light shines down from the helicopter and a person appears in the open side door perhaps starting to lower a rope. See 2021.008.002 for artist's biography. |
