Hughie Lee-Smith was a Cleveland-based artist associated with the printmaking workshop at Karamu House, a community art center founded as a settlement house in 1915. He was one of the founders of Karamu Artists Inc., a Black printmaking collective focused on achieving professionalization and using art to serve the community. Lee-Smith left Cleveland in the 1940s, and turned to painting as his primary medium, creating figural works infused with a sense of surrealism and alienation. This rare, late monoprint reflects his painting practice as well as the artist’s continued interest in the print medium.
