Main Line 1938

"Main Line" (1938) is a lithograph by American artist John Conway Menihan (1908-2008). The artwork depicts a long, straight railroad track vanishing into the distance, framed by a row of telephone poles and a sparse landscape. The composition highlights the lines of the railroad track, telegraph poles, and the horizon, creating a sense of perspective and depth. This minimalist and evocative piece showcases Menihan's talent for capturing the essence of the industrial landscape through precise lines and subtle shading.
