1934

Louise Boyer

Associated Names

Louise Boyer

Artist, American, 1890 - 1976

The image depicts a nighttime industrial scene from an elevated angle. The foreground shows a steel mill with smokestacks emitting smoke, against a dark sky with hills in the background. Cross-hatched strokes create a textured atmosphere. Dark earthy tones contrast with the bright factory lights. A river in the foreground reflects the lights, with a small boat partially visible.
