For this part of history, it might be best to use a few pieces done by Wisconsin artists. Our Museum can illustrate different art movements well, but does not have the material to comment on many current national events, or their relevance to Wisconsin.

Blackmon, Prophet Three Dimensions Folk Sparrow, Simon Untitled Folk Thematic Organization Agriculture and Rural Wisconsin Life Comments and Questions Wisconsin is often classified as an agricultural state. In 1850, growing wheat was the main crop, but farmers often did lumbering in the wintertime. By 1860 corn and oats were grown and sheep raising and dairy farming began. Cows were raised for meat, and meatpacking plants grew up. Tanning became a lucrative industry. Important names were Pfister and Vogel. By 1876, dairy farming replaced wheat as the main type of farming, and farmers also raised hogs for the meat packers. By 1872, cheese making was promoted, and in 1890, 1,000 cheese factories produced 53,708,595 pounds of cheese worth four million dollars. Rural farm life is often presented as beautiful, but what demands did it make on the owners and farm workers? They had long hours, physical labor, no vacations, manure, and vagaries of nature. Despite long hours and hard work, Wisconsin rural people found time for art. Why? Everyone wants some kind of decoration, some kind of artistic expression in life. How is folk art in some ways similar to contemporary art? Why are there fewer farms now than in the past? Towns always grow up in farm areas. Why?
