EXPOSITION
Art Gallery of Windsor, William Kurelek: Artist with His Work, 1972


In a note affixed to the verso, William Kurelek wrote: "In the winter, one of the major chores, both morning and evening immediately preceding milking, was to clean out the manure in the barn - heavy and not very pleasant work, done by lamplight since the days were very short. A single horse pulled a 'stoneboat' through on which the manure was piled with fork and shovel followed by a sweep-up with a broom made from loose pieces of shrubs. The stoneboat was then taken out in the fields and the manure roughly spread, while in the barn, a new bedding of straw was laid."

This work is in the original frame made by Kurelek.
