DescriptionTwo men are depicted on either side of a giant cog, which dominates the print, or gear. The projections on its edge engage with another cog. The men on either side of the cog are pulling a handle propelling the cog forward. The bare chested male at the front of the image is depicted sideways. The men are standing on another cog. The image appears ceaseless. There is considerable shading referring to a somer mood. The work is representative of the modernist imagery of the 30's. 40's in America. - Judith Kendall, I.S.A., AM
