Grey Street 1940

"Grey Street" is a 1940 lithograph by American artist Ralston Crawford, known for his Precisionist style. The work depicts a simplified, geometric vision of a street with a single cloud in a pale blue sky, emphasizing form and structure over realism. Crawford's minimalist approach captures the essence of urban landscapes and highlights the influence of modern architecture on American art. His stark use of color and sharp lines create a sense of order and precision, echoing the Precisionist movement's focus on clarity and objectivity.
