Untitled (French Restaurant) c. 1930

Susan Willard Flint’s *Untitled (French Restaurant)* (c. 1930) is a black and white illustration that depicts a bustling scene of diners in a Parisian restaurant. The artist utilizes graphic lines and geometric shapes to capture the energy of the scene, emphasizing the stylized and often caricatured forms of her subjects. Flint’s work, like much of the illustration work produced in the 1930s, is characterized by its focus on modern life and its often satirical humor. This work, with its focus on the social gathering at a French restaurant, presents a snapshot of urban life in the early 20th century.
