Untitled (Work or Bread) 1934

Jacob Burck's 1934 lithograph, *Untitled (Work or Bread)*, depicts a powerful scene of social injustice during the Great Depression. A woman, her face contorted in anguish, is forcefully dragged away by two men, likely law enforcement, while a sign reading "Work or Bread" looms in the background. The stark black and white composition and bold lines contribute to the artwork's sense of urgency and social commentary. This print is a stark reminder of the economic hardships faced by many during the Depression, highlighting the struggles for survival and the often brutal realities of that era.
