About the Item

Max Schweber's Pigeon Shoot is a compelling black-and-white lithograph that captures a moment of stark urban tension. In the scene, a rooftop teems with pigeons, while a crowd gathers below on the street. Across the way, a figure leans from a window, aiming a rifle at the unsuspecting birds. The composition is both dynamic and unsettling, inviting viewers to ponder its deeper implications.​ Political Interpretation While specific analyses of Schweber's Pigeon Shoot are limited, the artwork can be interpreted as a commentary on surveillance and the dynamics of power in urban environments. The shooter, positioned discreetly within a building, may symbolize unseen forces exerting control or violence upon the public sphere, represented by the crowd and pigeons. This imagery evokes themes of authoritarian oversight and the vulnerability of individuals within societal structures.​ Artistic Significance Schweber's meticulous line work and attention to detail create a sense of realism that draws the viewer into the scene. The juxtaposition of the mundane (pigeons on a rooftop) with the ominous (a hidden shooter) challenges observers to reflect on the hidden tensions present in everyday life. This piece stands as a testament to the power of visual art to provoke thought and highlight societal issues.​ Paper Size: 9 x 12 inches ( 23 x 30.5 cm ) Image Size: 9 x 12 inches ( 23 x 30.5 cm ) Framing available Condition: A-: Near Mint, very light signs of handling Shipping and Handling: We ship Worldwide.
