Artist, American, 1899 - 1972

The image depicts an urban scene with tall buildings towering overhead, obscuring the horizon. The buildings are textured using dense brushstrokes, with a monochromatic color palette of varying shades of gray and black. In the distance, the buildings create a narrow effect, while closer to us are clusters of small figures, adding a sense of scale and liveliness to the setting.
