History of a Picture No. 2: The Public

Frank Wilcox

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a group of people standing close together. The group consists of both men and women. Most of the men are wearing suits with white shirts, some with bowties; one man wears a cap and a scarf. The women wear a dress and a coat with a scarf; one woman wears a head covering. A child is present. The figures are drawn in a caricature style with exaggerated facial features. The color palette is muted, with shades of brown, beige, and white. The background is a light beige color with white streaks. The overall mood appears to be one of seriousness or concern. The title of the piece is "History of a Picture No. 2: The Public" by Frank Wilcox.
