About the Item
“Public Aid” is an oil painting by Lionel Walker, a 20th century African-American artist known for his oil paintings. Three figures dressed for the outdoors not only fill the canvas, but appear to almost step outside its perimeter. In agreement with the title, the faces have a look of despondency. Perhaps they are waiting in a line for assistance meanwhile in the background are numerous automobiles of the latest style travel in both directions outside a city scape indicating richer citizens with jobs and homes to travel to and from.
It is signed on the lower right with the title and date on verso framed and in very good condition measuring 24” h x 18” w.
