Green Jungle, Tobias Schneebaum, crayon lithograph on Arches paper
Daughter's Portrait, Harvey Dinnerstein, lithograph
This black-and-white photograph shows an intimate interior with a black woman and several black men dancing the jitterbug.
This image is created with black ink on yellowed paper. It shows a long, low building that stretches across the print, overtaken by foliage at the right. The building is divided into two portions. A doorway and window are openings into one portion, and the second portion is accessed by a porch. The building’s roof has sustained damage, and off of the right portion of the building is a stone chimney. Above the building three birds fly.
