Untitled (The Senator) c. 1942

"Untitled (The Senator)" is a 1942 lithograph by American artist William Gropper (1897-1977). The artwork depicts a caricature of a politician, exaggerated in size, gesturing dramatically in front of a group of smaller, seated figures. The use of exaggerated features is a hallmark of Gropper's style, often employed in political cartoons and social commentary. This particular work likely satirizes the political climate of the time, highlighting the power dynamics and theatricality of public discourse. The work's visual style reflects the social realism movement, often addressing contemporary issues through a critical lens.
