Overpass 1983

"Overpass," a black and white photograph taken in 1983 by Nathan Lerner, showcases the artist's signature style of capturing the urban landscape. Lerner, known for his stark and minimalist approach, focuses on the geometric forms and textures found in everyday environments. In this image, the viewer is presented with a close-up view of a metal overpass, emphasizing the industrial elements of the structure, including rivets, pipes, and a circular hatch. The photograph's composition, with its strong vertical lines and contrasting light and shadow, creates a sense of both order and dynamism. The silhouetted figure in the distance adds a touch of human presence to the otherwise industrial scene.
