Harlow Lent

Artist, American, 1907 - 1993

The image shows large industrial structures towering above the scene. The horizon is high, with figures silhouetted against the sky. The graphic technique used features heavy cross-hatching to create texture in darker areas. The color palette is monochrome with deep blacks and varying shades of grey. Figures appear small against the architectural elements, which become more intricate as the scene recedes into the distance.
