Artist, American, 1904 - 1988

This is a drawing of a nighttime urban street scene. The piece depicts a street lined with shops and an old-fashioned car parked by the curb. Buildings on the street are depicted in dark contrasts, suggesting night-time with lights illuminating shop windows. Above one shop, a sign reads "Soda Cigars", while another sign overhangs a store labeled "MEAT". Shadows fall across the sidewalk, creating depth and a sense of quiet nightlife. The style of the drawing is marked by stark black and white contrasts and a focus on everyday city life.
