Cleveland, United States
The image depicts feathered head-dresses and gaudy hats, and, front and center, lurid views of women's bodies. Perhaps Flint has made a kind of meta-commentary on viewing art itself by placing his print's viewer in the casino and forcing that viewer assume the perspective of shadowy male figures who seem to be coming, going, and staring. The print is stamped "Federal Art Project No. 1." Signed W. LeRoy Flint in pencil in lower right; title in lower left.
