About the Item
If ever there was an image that fit the description of 'Ashcan,' Harry Rein's Competition, made for the NYC WPA, is clearly it!
Some impressions have the WPA sstamp, including the one in the collection of the Baltimore Museum of Art.
The artist is asking us to see that the dogs are as hungry as the children. The one at the far left could not be more scrawny. And the little boy is totally dependent on his sister who is nearly overwhelmed with her responsibility. Could she be trying to find food for the dogs too?
The sheet is in good condition. There is some buckling but outside of the image. It is signed and titled in pencil.
In the description I used 'linocut' but this is tricky (for me at least). Could it also be a woodcut?
