Used Goods 1937

"Used Goods" is a 1937 lithograph by Pauline Vinson, an American artist known for her depictions of urban life. The artwork depicts a stark scene of a city street corner with a figure in the foreground peering into a doorway where discarded goods are piled high. Above, another figure gazes out of a window, providing a sense of isolation and the harsh realities of everyday life in the city. Vinson's use of bold lines and shading creates a sense of depth and texture, emphasizing the gritty, tangible aspects of the subject matter.
