WPA Artist Ruth Gikow Pencil Signed "Children" Serigraph 73/100 (?)

Laid down on cardboard. From Artinterp.org: "One of the works which demonstrates her printing experience is a lithograph in the College collection titled Children and dated 1960. It is a colored piece on taupe paper depicting a row of teenage figures in various positions of boredom or defiance in front of what appears to be a street light. The color palette is a bright combination of warm and cool shades on top of a neutral grey outline. The clothing and streetlight are the only objects of color, while the human figure’s hair, skin, and features are defined by the grey outline and negative space of the paper. The human figures are rendered naturalistically, yet there are features present that are unusual such as a dark blue slash across a female figure’s eyes, blurring them out, or the vague, nearly incomplete depiction of the figures’ hands."

Notes: Laid down on cardboard. Light dirt from age.
