Home Sweet Home 1928

"Home Sweet Home" (1928) is a lithograph by Paul Rohland, a prominent American artist known for his social realist style. The print depicts a couple, likely African American, in a domestic setting, a theme Rohland often explored in his work. The piece's title, along with the "Home Sweet Home" sign in the background, speaks to the yearning for comfort and belonging, a potent message during the era of racial segregation. Rohland's expressive lines and shading imbue the artwork with a sense of intimacy and quietude, portraying the couple in a relaxed and informal moment.
