Titles & Info
Cafe
Lithograph, 1947 · Size TBD
Men gather at café tables in quiet conversation, one pair leaning close in the foreground, another further back over cups and bottles — a scene of everyday intimacy caught in soft charcoal shading.
Shoe Shine
Color Woodcut, 1954 · Size TBD
A man in a dark suit gets his shoes shined from a red folding chair, while the shoeshine man works below in a light jacket and green hat, set against bold blocks of navy, gold, and red.
Loretta
Lithograph, 1954 · Size TBD
A woman lies in the grass beneath tall trees, knees bent and feet up, reading a book held above her — a relaxed, sunlit moment of stillness in the woods.
Man on Dock
Lithograph, 1949 · Size TBD
A man leans on a railing, looking out at boats moored in the harbor, while a child sleeps in a wheelbarrow parked below on the dock — mountains rising in the hazy distance beyond the water.
Passenger
Lithograph, 1949 · Size TBD
A train passenger sits hunched forward, bent nearly double, head down in shadow — papers scattered on the floor beside them, the weight of the posture filling the frame.

Backyard 1
Lithograph, 1953 · Size TBD
A woman stands at a window holding a baby, a young boy beside her at the sill, laundry strung across the brick backyard below and trash cans lined up beneath — a tenement scene of everyday domestic life.

Beach
Etching and Watercolor, 1985(?) · Size TBD
Two figures in swimsuits lounge beneath a striped umbrella, one lying back in a black suit, the other reclining nearby in orange and white — sand and water sketched loosely in blue and rust tones below.
Beach Artist
Linoleum Cut, 1985(?) · Size TBD
Three figures sit in beach chairs beneath an umbrella, one working at an easel, set against horizontal banding across sky and sand that suggests bright, hazy light.

The Beach
Linoleum Cut, 1985(?) · Size TBD
A collage of beach imagery — figures beneath a striped umbrella above, bare feet stretched out below, as if seen from someone lying in the sand.
Departure
Woodcut, 1979 · 22 x 16"
An old man's face is rendered in overlapping, fragmented profiles, with a second, fainter profile — his wife's — folded into the composition, as though memory and presence are merging.
Restless Sleep
Woodcut, 1950 · 4 1/4 x 13 1/4"
A figure lies stretched across the frame, tangled in sheets rendered in bold, angular folds — the sharp, faceted carving giving the scene a restless, unsettled energy.
Restless Sleep Revisited
Etching, 1980(?) · Size TBD
The same tangled, angular folds from "Restless Sleep" reappear in bands of pink, magenta, and blue-gray, now reading almost like a mountain range.
Friday Afternoon
Woodcut, 1950 · Size TBD
A figure kneels low, scrubbing at the floor, the wood's natural grain left exposed as the background, becoming part of the image itself.
Linoleum Cut, 2005 · 9 x 11 7/8"
A later, revisited take on "Friday Afternoon" — the same kneeling figure scrubbing at the floor, now carved in linoleum's crisper, more graphic contrast rather than the woodcut's grain.
Guest Speaker
Etching, Date TBD · Size TBD
A man's face is shown close-up and fragmented, an oversized hand hovering above him — a fractured, dreamlike composition rendered in fine crosshatching and etching textures.
Haircut
Etching with Watercolor, Date TBD · Size TBD
A person's face and figure fuse multiple viewpoints into one form — profile and back view collapsed together, a hand with scissors reaching toward the hair — rendered in soft washes of blue, gray, and peach.
Haircut (B&W)
Linoleum Cut, Date TBD · Size TBD
A person's face and figure fuse multiple viewpoints into one form — profile and back view collapsed together, a hand with scissors reaching toward the hair — rendered in bold black-and-white line against a dense woven-net background.
Linoleum Cut, 2005 · 7 x 3 7/8"
A nude figure leans back, head tilted, eyes closed, arm reaching outward — the posture reads as recoiling or dramatically expressive, set against stark black negative space.
Absurd
Color Linoleum Cut, 1985 · Size TBD
A face with both hands pressed over the eyes, as if to block out what's seen, while a second large hand reaches up below — text woven directly into the composition in bold red, blue, black, and white, evoking alienation in an incomprehensible world.

At the Movies
Color Woodcut, 1956 · Size TBD
A collage of cinematic imagery in olive green and deep red — a woman smoking in the upper left faces down the barrel of a gun held by an arm reaching in from the right, a bathing beauty below, and another woman's face in the lower right — the whole composition reading like a movie poster advertising the film itself.

Marquee
Color Woodcut, 1956 · Size TBD
A brightly lit theater marquee glows above the entrance, figures walking toward the doors and cars parked along the curb below — the scene rendered in radiating, energetic red, orange, yellow, and black linework, evoking the glow of a night out at the movies.
The Fantasy Cinema
Linoleum Cut, 1985 · Size TBD
A solitary figure walks beneath a glowing theater marquee at night, cars parked along the dark street — dense, sharp black-and-white linework creating deep shadow and stark light, a striking contrast to the color woodcut "Marquee."
Into the Unknown
Color Woodcut, 1956 · Size TBD
A lonely, shadowy figure sits in the foreground, arms crossed, while behind them a lobby scene unfolds — a family at a concession counter, figures moving toward an open door leading out into bright light beyond — all rendered in moody teal and black.
Double Feature
Color Woodcut, 1956 · Size TBD
A tense, dramatic scene plays across the screen above a darkened, packed theater — the audience rapt, one figure standing in the aisle — the wood's natural vertical grain woven through as texture, deep blue-black tones lit by white highlights.
Stage Play I
Woodcut, 1952 · Size TBD
A theatrical scene of heightened drama — a figure with a knife makes a getaway through the window as another lies collapsed over a guitar in the foreground — rendered in bold, dense linework against a textured brick wall.
Stage Play II
Stage Play II
Woodcut, 1952 · Size TBD
A closer view of the same dramatic moment — the fleeing figure's legs and knife-hand seen from below, while a figure lies collapsed over a guitar in the foreground — bold carved textures built up throughout to render dramatic light and shadow.
