FRED DARGE (American, 1900-1978) Fixing the Fence (Ed Love Ranch, Sierra Blanca, Texas) Oil on artist's board 12 x 16 inches (30.5 x 40.6 cm) Signed lower right: F. Darge Titled verso: Fixing the Fence (Ed Love Ranch, Sierra Blanca, Texas) Fred Darge was born in Germany and immigrated to the United States in 1923. He came to Texas ten years later. He spent his summers painting on ranches in West Texas and New Mexico. This work is a rare example by the artist depicting a horse and rider. Using his ranching experience, Darge has chosen to show one of the least glamorous, most important, and time consuming aspects of ranch life - fence building and maintenance.
