Circus, No. 2 is a 1925 by Augustus Peck, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a woman in a circus pose, balancing on one leg with her arms stretched out. Above her, two acrobats twist in the air, their bodies bent at odd angles. The background is filled with tiny dots, like a starry night, and the whole scene is in black and white with bold, simple lines. The title *Circus, No. 2* hints this might be part of a series, but the artist’s style feels fresh. The stark contrast between light and dark shapes makes the figures stand out sharply. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this print in person.
