Untitled (Urban Scene-Man & Smokestacks) c. 1935 - 1940

Irving G. Lehman's "Untitled (Urban Scene-Man & Smokestacks)" is a woodcut print from the 1930s, depicting a city scene with simplified buildings and a crescent moon. The artist uses a graphic style with bold black lines and white spaces to create a sense of urban density and the starkness of the night. Lehman's work often explored themes of industrialization and modern life in America, and this piece exemplifies his use of stylized forms to convey the urban landscape. The woodcut print shows a cityscape with an emphasis on the contrast of light and dark, and its geometric shapes add a sense of order and structure to the scene. Lehman's artwork provides an interesting representation of urban life in the 1930s, using bold geometric forms and graphic lines to represent the city's essence.
