Promised Land
1941–1942

A black and white lithograph featuring a chaotic composition with overlapping figures and text, including caricature-like depictions of people, various scribbles, and words such as "TRAVEL," "FUN," and "DISCOVER." The artwork has a dynamic and somewhat abstract quality, with a lower section that appears to show a crowd of figures. The print is signed at the bottom.
