Workers c. 1940

"Workers," created by James Miekle Guy around 1940, is a vibrant and powerful lithograph. The work portrays a diverse group of individuals, including a woman, a man of color, and a child, all standing together as a symbol of unity and shared purpose. Guy’s stylized figures, with their bold outlines and flat planes of color, contribute to the artwork's sense of monumentality and symbolic weight, referencing the artistic style of Cubism. This piece likely aimed to convey a message of social justice and the importance of solidarity among different workers during the era of the Great Depression.
