    Hi again. Would you us the term Cubist to describe this bookend? Or Modernist maybe? Thanks for any input.

    WPA-era art is often called "Machine Age" or "Social Realism." Pre-World War II obviously. (Brutalism was a post-World War II art movement.)

    Very similar. Too bad this one isn't bronze.
