Description
"Rain in the City" block print by Malcolm Arnett. The composition includes a street scene in which a man struggles through a rainy landscape carrying an umbrella. The work is printed black ink in on ivory paper. The title is printed below the lower left corner of the image.
Note: The artist noted "I live in the country where we have learned to live with the weather, whatever it may be. One day I drove into town in the middle of a rain storm. People were running from one shelter to another with umbrellas that did not cove rand toeless shoes that did not protect. I parked, grabbed a pad and started drawing."
