1931

A black and white lithograph depicting a surreal landscape with elongated shadows and abstract forms. In the foreground, there are several cylindrical shapes resembling telescopes or cannons on tripod stands, casting long shadows. A leafless tree with sinuous branches occupies the middle ground, while a tall pole with a ladder attached stands to the right. The background features a smooth, dark hillside with more tree branches reaching into the sky. The image has a dreamlike, eerie quality. Handwritten text at the bottom indicates a dedication on the left and the artist's signature and date, 1937, on the right.
