Pickets.
Color screenprint on thin wove paper, 1946. 260x325 mm; 10 1/4x12 7/8 inches, 1/8- to 1/2- inch margins. Signed in ink, lower right. Numbered 8 in pencil, lower margin. A very good impression with strong colors of this scarce print.
Roy Decarava is known today as an important African-American photographer. But until the late 1940s, he was a painter and printmaker who had trained in screenprinting during the WPA. Another impression is in the collection of the Library of Congress, exhibited in Creative Space: Fifty Years of Robert Blackburn's Printmaking Workshop; Blackburn and DeCarava met at the Harlem Community Art Center.
