Richard Estes

Oriental Restaurant
1972

A stylized print depicting two contrasting storefronts side by side. On the left, a vibrant orange and red restaurant facade with "NATAL Cuisine" and "Maurice French Ice Cream Fountain Service" signage. On the right, a more subdued blue and brown "MOE TRUCKING" office front with the phone number "877-7173" and the address number "333." The artwork has a clean, graphic quality with a strong use of color and line, reminiscent of a comic or digital illustration.
