Winter in the City 1940

"Winter in the City" is a 1940 lithograph by Hulda D. Robbins (1910-2010). This dynamic scene captures the bustling energy of city life during a winter snowstorm. Workers shovel snow while pedestrians navigate the slippery streets, their movements and expressions suggesting a mix of struggle and amusement. Robbins' bold, graphic style, evident in the simplified forms and flat planes of color, creates a vibrant, almost cartoon-like quality. This print is a testament to Robbins' skill in depicting the lively essence of urban life.
