"Jacob Wrestling With the Angel, " WPA-style Lithograph
About the Item
This very strong lithograph dating from 1946 depicts a nude Jacob holding a moon-faced angel in a neck grip, with a ray from heaven casting a harsh light upon the stark landscape like a spotlight in a film noir. Although both figures are powerfully drawn there is a strange placidity to this picture; Jacob faces away from the viewer, and the angel's quietude and outstretched hand seems to suggest that he is not exerting his full ability to overpower.

"Four at the Table", 1940s American Scene Lithograph by Woman Artist
Located in Philadelphia, PA
One of the most intriguing and mysterious WPA-era prints we have ever offered, this rare, possibly unique work depicts a group of two women and two men in intense conversation at a crude wood table, in a simple room with cracks in the plaster that show the wood lath underneath. The four almost seem like a group on the lam in a film noir from the period, desperately running from a crime of some kind. Two of the four face downward, deeply focused on the subject at hand, and another is lost in thought, a pipe in his mouth. The fourth is most mysterious of all, facing away from the viewer. but clearly animated and in conversation. The artist was Alice Harold Murphy...
