One at Bat 1936

Herman Volz's "One at Bat" is a striking 1936 lithograph depicting an urban scene. Geometric shapes, stark contrasts in light and shadow, and a sense of perspective dominate the work. The composition features tall buildings, a street, and a group of figures walking across a plaza. The simplified forms and minimal detail of the scene create a sense of anonymity and the work alludes to the bustling energy of modern city life. "One at Bat" exemplifies Volz's keen interest in capturing the essence of urban environments through a uniquely geometric lens.
