New School Library c. 1939

Carlos Anderson's "New School Library" is a black and white lithograph depicting a modern library interior, likely a school library, from a high-angle perspective. The image captures the quiet, focused atmosphere of a library with numerous students seated at desks, reading and studying. Anderson, known for his architectural renderings, effectively utilizes light and shadow to create a sense of depth and highlight the structure of the library. The piece was created in 1939, during the era of Modernist art and architecture, and it captures the spirit of that time.
