Artist, American, 1899 - 1986

The image shows a tall, ornate tower at the center, possibly part of an old water structure. The horizon is implied by rooftops and foliage at the lower third. The architecture is depicted in a bold, graphic style with strong contrasts between dark and light, reminiscent of woodcut prints. The color palette is black and white. Silhouetted trees and a figure are in the foreground, and in the distance, there is a modern skyscraper. The sky above is filled with dynamic, diagonal linework.
