Untitled (Victor Food Shop) c. 1936

Max Arthur Cohn's "Untitled (Victor Food Shop)" from c. 1936, is an example of the artist's urban landscapes which he was known for during his time as a member of the New York Society of Etchers. The linocut depicts a street corner with a "Victor Food Shop" at the center, illuminated by streetlights, and wet from rain. The artist captures the essence of a bustling city with the sharp details of buildings, vehicles, and the lone figure walking beneath an umbrella, creating a visual narrative of everyday life in New York City. The artwork is a testament to Cohn's ability to capture the urban environment through a combination of realistic detail and stylized composition, making it a compelling example of American printmaking.
