Artist, American, 1910 - 1992

The image shows an urban waterfront scene with a mixture of industrial and residential structures. The horizon is not visible due to the buildings stretching across the composition. The artwork uses a monochromatic palette of varying shades of gray and black, with strong contrasts and bold outlines. Closest to us is a body of water, possibly a river, with a small bridge and a brick building with a visible window. Further back are warehouses, industrial silos, and multi-story buildings, some appearing dilapidated. The sky has dark clouds, adding to the industrial atmosphere.
