Stranded Brig
''Stranded Brig'' is a painting by the American artist Edwin Dickinson (1891–1978). Painted in oils on a canvas measuring 40 x 50 inches, it was created in 1934 for the federal government's first Depression-era program for artists, the half-year Public Works of Art Project. In October 1934 it entered the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Springfield, Massachusetts.
==History==
In February 1934, Dickinson was invited to participate in the Public Works of Art Project, which offered him weekly pay and an exhibition of the painting in Washington in May. He finished the work on time by reworking an abandoned painting, one of a small group done from imagination on a favorite subject, polar exploration,〔Ward, 2003, pp. 87–92.〕 and changing its title to ''Stranded Brig''.〔Ward, 2003, pp. 133–41.〕 According to art historian John L. Ward, Dickinson's painting had begun life as ''Loss of the Tegethoff'', the third painting of a series on the subject of the stranding of that ship in polar ice, left off after about 15 sittings in the fall of 1930. Ward points out that the size is the same,〔Ward, 2003, pp. 138, 239: note 47.〕 that it represented "boat, smoke, ice and rocks," and that the tally of sittings Dickinson reported putting in on the painting to date in a letter written 31 March 1934 ("about 40") does not match the number entered in his journals unless the "about 15 sittings" he had put in on the earlier painting are added in.〔Ward, 2003, p. 138.〕 In the final version the ice has disappeared and upended rocks resembling those he had painted in ''The Glen'' are present. The picture also contains the skeleton of a whaleboat in the foreground, along with an improbable weasel caught in a trap (lower left), falling rocks (left side), and a dangling walkway (left side) and steps (lower right), that Dickinson said were like those at (Watkins Glen ), New York, or some such place for tourists.〔Ward, 2003, pp. 133–134.〕
