Artist, American, 1913 - 1997

This is a photograph of a view from inside a car overlooking a waterfront with an industrial structure. The scene captures the perspective from the inside of a car's front seat, observing the dashboard and part of the steering wheel. Through the windshield, there is a blurred view of what appears to be a vehicle parked nearby and an open view of the water. In the distance, a large, angular industrial structure rises in front of the hills and horizon. The rear-view mirror reflects another car and fragments of the background scenery. The photograph is taken in black and white.
