The Circus c. 1950 - 1952

"The Circus" is a black and white print created by American artist Paul A. Feldhaus (1926-2005) in the early 1950s. The print depicts a bustling circus scene with tents, a Ferris wheel, and a crowd of people. The artist’s use of bold lines and heavy shading creates a sense of energy and excitement, capturing the lively atmosphere of the circus. Feldhaus’s print is a fine example of the expressive style of printmaking popular in the mid-20th century, showcasing the artist’s skilled use of line and light to convey movement and emotion.
