The Dark Tower 1919

"The Dark Tower" is an etching created by American artist Earl Horter in 1919. The piece depicts a nighttime cityscape, likely of New York City, with an emphasis on the silhouette of a tall, imposing building in the center of the composition. The etching is characterized by its dark, somber tones and its focus on the urban landscape. Horter was known for his depictions of urban environments and often incorporated elements of industrialization and modernity into his work. The piece, currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, provides a glimpse into the changing urban landscape of early 20th-century America.
