About the Item

Lawrence Beall Smith draws four men in a park, each with his back to a giant, strong tree. The year is 1938 and the country is coming out of the Depression but World War II is already to burst on the scene. Each man sits alone in contemplation. The fourth man is a sailor sitting with his back to the others and the viewers -- a military note. It was published by Associated American Artists in an edition of 250 in 1940. (Windisch and Cole 417). It is signed, titled, dated, and annotated 'Artist Proof,' the lower left corner of the image.

Although it is titled 'Seaside Nomads,' to me it has the look of a bay or inlet. It's relatively flat and there are all sorts of grasses, old...
