The Hitchhiker

hitchhiker_m.jpg

This is a color screenprint created by Robert Gwathmey in 1937. It features a man hitchhiking, with his hand out. He is in front of two billboards featuring smiling women. I believe it relates to Grapes of Wrath because this art piece exemplifies the exact kind of hardship in the face of privilege. It can be found here
