Bridge c. 20th century

Editor: This etching, simply titled "Bridge" by Herman Armour Webster, feels so serene. All these soft lines and curves. What feelings or ideas does it spark in you? Curator: Well, it whisks me away! I imagine strolling along that riverbank, maybe writing poetry while watching those boats go by. Webster really captured the light – how it dances on the water, peeks through the arches. Doesn't it feel almost… dreamlike? And what do you think of the figures? Editor: They seem to be adding movement to the scene, but their stillness makes me feel calm. I think I see what you mean about the light. Curator: Exactly! It's like Webster wanted to capture a fleeting moment. So much implied, so little stated. Now, I wonder where *this* bridge leads… Editor: It’s true that Webster makes the viewer want to step into this print, I think he surely accomplished this goal.
