Cleveland-based artist Mabel Hewit worked prolifically in this medium, using it to depict aspects of modern life. Here, men and women rush down a city street holding umbrellas to avoid rain—represented in the image through repeated diagonals. wall description: --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES
