Tea Leaf Reading c. 1938

Joseph Vogel's "Tea Leaf Reading" from 1938 is a black and white woodcut that depicts a street scene with a fortune teller offering their services for 25 cents. The figures in the artwork are stylized and geometric, and the composition is tight and dynamic. The use of black and white creates a sense of contrast and depth, and the overall effect is one of energy and excitement. The artwork is a prime example of Vogel's social realism style, reflecting the realities of urban life in the 1930s.
