Derelict - Lake Union Seattle 1936

Edmond James Fitzgerald's 1936 etching, "Derelict - Lake Union Seattle," is a striking example of the artist's keen observation of the urban landscape. This print depicts a derelict ship moored in the waters of Lake Union in Seattle, with a bridge in the background. Fitzgerald's use of line and shading effectively conveys the ship's weathered condition and the atmospheric haze that hangs over the water. This evocative print captures a fleeting moment in time and serves as a testament to the artist's ability to create powerful and evocative imagery.
