Days of wrath. James N. Rosenberg, 1929.
Days of Wrath was an art piece created by James N. Rosenberg. The date signifies that the drawing is a depiction of Black Tuesday, the day the stock market crashed.The stock market crash was a start of the economic decay because of all the money that people and banks were pouring into it to prevent it. It didn't stop the fact that all of the money was last and people were left with no money at, leaving the cheery early 1920s in the dust. This picture is a great depiction of what people during the time must have seen as they watched the economy (the world around them) fall too pieces and this drawing takes that feeling of living thorugh that life and putting it in a visual perspective for the people who didn't.
The artist of this piece was also a successful lawyer and writer who studied at Columbia Law School in 1898. In 1922 he founded a gallery in New York and a famous work of art is The Days of Wrath which made front page on several newspapers in 1929. Later he retired from law and pursued art.
