Untitled (Racetrack) c. 1930s

Arnold Friedman's "Untitled (Racetrack)" is a lithograph from the 1930s that captures a race at a racetrack. The artist's perspective is from the stands, looking down at the track, creating a sense of intimacy with the viewer. This dynamic composition features an array of figures within the frame, subtly blurred and indistinct, rendering the image with a soft, almost impressionistic quality. The scene is dominated by the dramatic diagonal line of the racetrack, which leads the viewer's eye towards the action unfolding on the track, offering a snapshot of the thrill of horse racing.
