Artist, American, 1910 - 1998

The image shows an industrial scene from a slightly elevated perspective. The horizon is at the top, separating land from sky, with water and a distant landmass visible. Textured brushstrokes form lines and shadows shaping the railway and train cars. The monochrome palette uses shades of gray and black. Train tracks with cargo carriages curve towards three workers. More carriages and a structure lead the eye to the horizon, blending industrial and natural elements.
