This black-and-white print shows a chaotic crowd of people tangled together. Some are reaching upward, others are sprawled on the ground. One person in a hat stands apart, watching the scene. The lines are rough and uneven, making the figures look urgent and messy. The title *Composition - Globe* hints this might be about the world—or how people move through it. The artist’s signature reads "Augustus," but the full name is in the facts. Next, check out Augustus Peck (American, 1906–1975) for more of his work.
