Trouble in Frisco c. 1938

"Trouble in Frisco" is a 1938 lithograph by American artist Fletcher Martin (1904–1974). The print depicts a violent struggle between two men on a wooden platform, possibly a dock or shipyard. The scene is contained within a circular frame, emphasizing the claustrophobic and intense nature of the confrontation. The use of bold lines and dramatic shading adds to the visual power of the composition, making this a striking and memorable image. The artist is known for his graphic depictions of working-class life, and this print is a powerful example of his social realism style.
