Saturday 1936 - 1937

"Saturday" is a woodblock print by American artist Kathleen Blackshear, created between 1936 and 1937. The print depicts a scene of everyday life, likely in a Black American neighborhood, with two women and a child. The composition is simple, with figures rendered in bold black outlines against a brick background, creating a sense of immediacy and authenticity. The print is notable for its social commentary and its use of black and white, echoing the stark realities of Black life in the 1930s. Blackshear's work was known for its focus on African American experiences and the artist's own social activism.
