New Dodgem
1940

This is an artwork depicting a bustling scene outside a theater with the sign "STANOCKS" illuminated by light bulbs. A diverse crowd of stylized figures, including women in dresses and men in various attire, is gathered in front of the building. Some individuals are eating apples, while others are engaged in conversation or looking in different directions. The word "TORNADO" is visible on a sign to the left. The painting has a dynamic, somewhat chaotic atmosphere, with a mix of dark and warm tones, and is signed and dated at the bottom right.
