Red Hot Franks 1938

"Red Hot Franks" is a 1938 woodcut by American artist Leon Bibel. This artwork showcases a street vendor selling hot dogs and lemonade in a vibrant, stylized depiction of the urban landscape. Bibel employs a geometric, almost cubist approach, simplifying the forms of the buildings and figures into bold, flat shapes. The use of bright colors and strong lines creates a dynamic composition that captures the energy of city life. The image is a quintessential example of the Art Deco style that was popular in the 1930s, showcasing the influence of the movement in the United States.
