Evacuated at Night 1942

"Evacuated at Night" is a 1942 oil painting by American artist Tom Lovell (1909-1997). The painting depicts a group of people evacuating a building at night, likely during World War II, as a policeman escorts a distressed young woman, highlighting the anxieties and uncertainties of wartime life. The use of dramatic lighting and the figures' expressions create a sense of urgency and suspense, characteristic of Lovell's style. The painting likely served as an illustration for a magazine or book, reflecting the popular themes of the era.
