Description: Original woodcut circa 1930's, the subject a man working machinery in an urban setting with high rise buildings, stamped at lower right margin with the estate stamp of American artist IRVING GEORGE LEHMAN (1900-1983). The work is unframed and currently housed in a mat, and is taped at extreme top edge in two places, to that mat. There is a roughly rectangular pressed-in area of the paper at lower left and some wrinkling of the extremely delicate thin paper at bottom. Sheet measures 15" by 10 1/4". The print is dramatic and impressive; subject possibly an African-American man. Lehman was born in Kiev in the Ukraine. After study at the Art Students League and Cooper Union in New York, he worked for the WPA. This woodcut likely dates to that 1930's period. Lehman's first exhibition was at the ACA Gallery in 1934. After World War II Lehman's work became more abstract, as he joined the Abstract Expressionist movement. He spent many summers in rural locations around Woodstock and Provincetown, leaving behind his Brooklyn studio. Red Rock in Columbia County, New York was a summer favorite for years. Lehman died in the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts, in Great Barrington, in 1983. His papers are retained at Syracuse University.
