Windy Day c. 1935 - 1943

"Windy Day" is a black and white lithograph created by Bernard Joseph Steffen between 1935 and 1943. The artwork depicts a bustling city street scene with people hurrying through a downpour, their umbrellas buffeted by strong winds. Steffen, known for his detailed and realistic style, captures the energy and chaos of urban life in this evocative print, creating a sense of immediacy and movement. The use of chiaroscuro, with strong contrasts of light and dark, enhances the dramatic effect of the weather and contributes to the overall atmosphere of the work.
