Alfred De Sauty

Artist, American, 1870 - 1949

The image displays a series of rectangular and angular shapes forming an abstract cityscape resembling a mountain of tightly packed skyscrapers. The repetitive geometry of the blocks and towers creates a resemblance to a densely built metropolis with spires and domes. The arrangement suggests depth and complexity, evoking urban landscapes like Chicago where architecture extends upward.
