"The Moloch Eats Every Day" is a woodcut print created by Harold Persico Paris circa the 1940s. The artwork depicts a chaotic and disorienting scene, likely portraying a symbolic interpretation of a human sacrifice to a deity. The figures are contorted and intertwined, with the use of deep blacks and whites highlighting the dramatic nature of the scene. This woodcut, with its bold lines and dramatic composition, is characteristic of the Expressionist style popular in the early 20th century.
