Maker Abe Blashko American, 1920 - 2011
Label TextThe turbulent social and political events of the 1930s were major contributors to my early development of a point of view. I was able to feel the pulse of that period and was fascinated with the faces and activities of the people around me, a fascination with their work, play, determination, strength, greed and evil. —Abe Blashko
