Untitled (Up on the Roof) c. 1930s

"Untitled (Up on the Roof)" is a lithograph by Boris Gorelick created around the 1930s. The artwork depicts a bustling cityscape with figures engaged in various activities on rooftops. The artist's use of bold lines and strong contrasts between light and dark creates a sense of depth and dynamism, typical of the Expressionist style. This urban scene offers a glimpse into the daily life of New York City during the early 20th century, capturing the energy and movement of the city. The figures, rendered with expressive lines, appear almost like shadows, emphasizing the anonymity and alienation of city life.
