Untitled (cars driving on expressway, seen from above) c. 1950

Editor: This untitled photo by Jack Gould captures cars on an expressway from above. The grayscale tones give it a somewhat eerie, detached feel. What catches your eye in this piece? Curator: Well, it's like stepping into a memory, isn't it? The inverted tones create a dreamscape. I think Gould is hinting at the isolation within progress, the individual car a tiny capsule in this sprawling network. Does the image invoke any sense of movement for you? Editor: Now that you mention it, yes. It's almost a frozen, fleeting moment. Thanks for pointing that out.
