At the Cafeteria 1943

"At the Cafeteria" is a 1943 woodblock print by Australian artist Dorrit Black. The image depicts a simple scene of three people in a cafeteria. The stark black and white composition, characterized by thick lines and geometric shapes, is characteristic of Black's style and is reminiscent of the Art Deco movement, which was popular in Australia at the time. The print's subject matter—everyday life—and its simplified forms make it a compelling example of social realism, a style that flourished in the 1930s and 1940s.
