Adolf Dehn

Up in Harlem
1932

A black and white lithograph featuring a surreal, crowded scene with distorted figures, including a central character playing a wind instrument, surrounded by various caricatured faces and forms, some with exaggerated features. The artwork has a dreamlike, chaotic quality, with some figures appearing to float or merge with others. The image is signed and numbered by the artist in the lower margin.
