Carlos Dyer’s *Untitled (Bread Line)*, a powerful woodcut from the 1930s, captures the stark reality of the Great Depression. Three figures, their faces etched with hardship, stand in line, their hands outstretched, their hopes pinned to the sign above that reads "Save 2 Cents." The artist's bold, graphic style, characterized by stark black and white contrasts, emphasizes the desperation and bleakness of the scene. Dyer’s work serves as a poignant reminder of the social and economic struggles of that era.
