Artist, American, 20th century

The image shows an urban landscape with skyscrapers overlooking a harbor. The skyline blocks the horizon, with distinct buildings rising upwards, including one resembling the Chrysler Building. The style features bold black outlines and stark contrasts, similar to linocut or woodcut prints, simplifying forms into geometric shapes and lines. The color scheme is monochromatic, using black on off-white or cream paper, enhancing the graphic quality. Boats and water are in the foreground, portrayed in the same style. In the background, grouped buildings create a dense cityscape.
