"El" Station, Interior 1939

Anthony Velonis' 1939 woodcut print, "El" Station, Interior, depicts the interior of a train station, likely a station for the elevated train system in New York City. The artist uses bold lines and colors to emphasize the station's structural details, from the wooden beams to the intricate stained glass window. The central cast-iron stove suggests a cold climate, while the "Exit" sign and bench provide hints about the station's daily activity. This artwork captures the energy and details of a forgotten era, showcasing the artist's unique perspective on urban environments.
