Edna W. Lawrence's "Light Through Fog, N.Y." (c. 1930) is a black and white print depicting the city skyline of New York City shrouded in fog. The print features a towering skyscraper, likely the Chrysler Building, with the glow of its windows piercing through the thick, smoky atmosphere. This piece is a testament to Lawrence's artistic mastery in capturing the essence of urban life, highlighting the contrast between the imposing structures and the ethereal fog that envelops them. The work utilizes a muted palette, allowing the viewer to focus on the intricate details of the skyline. This print is a fine example of the artist's keen observation of urban life and her mastery of the printmaking technique.
