Sixth Avenue El
1931

This is a black and white abstract print featuring a collage of various shapes and figures that create a disjointed urban scene. On the left, a large stylized face with a prominent eye and nose is surrounded by fragmented architectural elements and a small figure seated at a café table. The center of the image shows a draped window with a hanging lamp, while the right side includes a chess piece and geometric shapes. The artwork is numbered and signed by the artist at the bottom.
