The Tribune Tower c. 1935

"The Tribune Tower" is a woodcut print created by American artist David Franklin Leavitt, circa 1935. The print depicts the Tribune Tower, a famous skyscraper in Chicago, as seen from a low angle, emphasizing its height and grandeur. The bold, graphic lines and use of black and white create a stark, urban aesthetic, characteristic of the Art Deco movement. The strong contrast between the dark tower and the light background creates a sense of drama and dynamism, highlighting the tower's imposing presence in the cityscape. Leavitt's woodcut is an excellent example of the artistic fascination with modern architecture during the 1930s.
