Description:

Mark Szymon (20th Century), Benjamin Klein, 1944.

The shop window includes explicit National Socialist symbols and militaria, contrasted against the quiet dignity of the solitary reader. Signed and dated lower right "Mark Szymon, 1944." A powerful period work referencing Jewish survival and the black-market economy under Nazi occupation. Estimated Value $200 - 300
