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.

- Eli Jacobi, Raritan Bridge (New Jersey)Located in New York, NYMostly known linocuts that combine social subjects with a modernist figure-ground style, Jacobi proves that 'artists have hands.' By that my old boss Sylvan Cole meant that even if they have a preferred medium, like Jacobi with linocut, they could do just about anything. And here the artist has made a New Jersey subject shine. The Raritan Bridge of course goes over the Raritan River that flows from the inland mountains (well, hills) of New Jersey to the Raritan Bay and then into the Atlantic Ocean. It was stolen from the Lenape by the Dutch and fought over by the English. It's role in American Industrial History is the stuff of legends. With the addition of a canal it transported anthracite coal from Pennsylvania helping to make the this part of New Jersey into a financial powerhouse. Sadly industry also polluted the entire region but now there is on-going restoration. Of course the bridge is also known to riders of the New Jersey Coast Line and drivers on the Garden State Parkway -- both take travelers 'down the shore,' This twist of heavy industry...Category

- Lawrence Beall Smith, Seaside NomadsBy Lawrence Beall SmithLocated in New York, NYA perfect summer day. A young mother, little boy, and even smaller girl have their luncheon under a make shift 'fly' -- a stripped cloth canopy fixed up with poles. 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...Category
