Unemployed c. 1938

"Unemployed," a lithograph created by Chet Harmon La More in 1938, portrays a group of three men standing together, likely depicting the hardship of unemployment during the Great Depression. The stark, stylized figures with their somber expressions contribute to the artwork's social commentary. La More's use of bold, graphic lines and a limited color palette emphasizes the bleak reality of economic hardship, making "Unemployed" a powerful and moving portrayal of a critical social issue.
