Spillway 1935

"Spillway" is a 1935 lithograph by American artist James Brooks. The print is a minimalist depiction of a bridge spanning a body of water, the surrounding landscape rendered in geometric forms and subtle gradations of gray. Brooks, known for his contributions to Abstract Expressionism, explores themes of structure and light in this work, which highlights the interplay between natural and man-made elements. The lithograph's stark simplicity and subtle details invite viewers to contemplate the relationship between architecture and the natural world.
