Victory Garden 1943

"Victory Garden" is a 1943 etching by Pietro Lazzari, an Italian-American artist. This work depicts a figure in a stylized, almost abstract manner, with a focus on the hands and the basket in the foreground, possibly signifying the act of harvesting. This piece reflects the prevailing wartime focus on self-sufficiency and food production, making it a poignant reminder of the "Victory Gardens" movement that encouraged homegrown produce to support the war effort. The artwork is characterized by bold lines and a distinct sense of texture, typical of Lazzari's expressive style.
