Workers 1939

"Workers," a 1939 lithograph by Edward Landon (1911-1984), depicts two laborers working together, their forms simplified into bold shapes and strong lines. The artist's use of flat, contrasting colors and a dynamic composition create a sense of movement and energy, emphasizing the physicality of labor. The background features a cityscape, suggesting the urban environment where these workers toil, while Landon's bold style alludes to the influence of Expressionism.
