An artist's perspective on the federal arts project - by Robert Gwathmey
It was 1936. I spent a summer on this tobacco farm in North Carolina. I picked tobacco because I wanted to know the whole story. An instant observer could do all this surface quality. To be involved, it has to have a deeper meaning, right? We're all total fellows, aren't we? I insist on being a total fellow.
I couldn't sit there and make a sort of representational and calling it priming tobacco (i.e., pulling the leaves off the tobacco plant), if I hadn't done it myself. I had to.
1. What did the writer mean by "We're all total fellows, aren't we?" Does he mean we are all equal? Why does he mean that?
2. What does "representational" mean? Moreover, it's an adjective, which doesn't seem to fit in there.
3. This whole sentence doesn't seem to make sense grammatically and content-wise. What does it mean?
calling it priming tobacco (i.e., pulling the leaves off the tobacco plant), if I hadn't done it myself. I had to.
