MAX SCHWEBER Pigeon Shoot, 1985

Max Schweber’s Pigeon Shoot is a striking black-and-white lithograph depicting pigeons clustered on a rooftop, a crowd gathered below, and a lone shooter aiming from a window across the street. The scene’s unsettling composition offers a powerful political metaphor—suggesting themes of surveillance, authoritarian control, and urban vulnerability. The pigeons and bystanders appear oblivious, underscoring the tension between public space and unseen power.

Schweber’s precise line work and realistic style intensify the narrative, making this a compelling piece for collectors interested in social critique, urban commentary, and symbolic realism in art.
