Bensonhurst Park c. 1935 - 1943

"Bensonhurst Park" is an etching created by Hyman J. Warsager in the 1930s. The artwork depicts a group of individuals gathered in a park setting, possibly engaged in a game or casual conversation. Warsager's use of shading and detailed lines creates a sense of depth and realism, capturing the texture of trees and the expressions on the faces of the park's visitors. The work was likely produced as part of the Federal Art Project, a government-funded program that employed artists during the Great Depression. The scene is reminiscent of everyday life in the United States during the 1930s, providing a glimpse into the social and cultural dynamics of the era.
