In the Lobby 1929

"In the Lobby" is a woodcut print created in 1929 by American artist Katharine Schlater, notable for its bold, graphic style. The composition depicts three stylized figures, likely women, in an interior setting, possibly a lobby or waiting area, with strong geometric shapes defining their forms. The use of black and white enhances the starkness and simplicity of the artwork, characteristic of the Art Deco movement that influenced Schlater's work. This piece is a testament to Schlater's skill in capturing the essence of modern life through the language of geometric abstraction, a prevalent theme in her artistic endeavors.
