Rue de L'Echaude
1929

A black and white print depicting a stylized urban street scene with exaggerated perspectives. Buildings with visible windows and signage for a hotel dominate the composition, while a grid-like pattern covers the ground and sky. Birds are flying in the patterned sky, and there's a pile of what appears to be rubble or objects on one of the rooftops. The artwork has a surreal, dreamlike quality.
