Untitled (Auction) 1942

"Untitled (Auction)" is a vibrant 1942 color lithograph by American artist Harry Shokler (1896-1978). The artwork depicts a lively scene of a country auction taking place in front of a red barn. Shokler's use of bold colors and energetic brushstrokes creates a sense of movement and community, capturing the essence of rural life. The work likely reflects the artist's interest in American social realism, a genre that emphasized the everyday lives and experiences of ordinary people.
