Description
Five men in dark coats and fedoras stand pressed together in what appears to be a police lineup or arrest photograph, their faces obscured or shadowed by the brims of their hats in a deliberate gesture of concealment. The stark black and white composition captures a moment of defiant anonymity, with strong contrast between the dark figures and the plain background, the grain and texture characteristic of mid-twentieth-century documentary photography. Precision-cut from thick, satin-finish paperboard and made to order, in 500 or 1,000 pieces. An afternoon spent building an independent artist's work.
