Lithograph #5 (Gas Factory) 1928

"Lithograph #5 (Gas Factory)" (1928) by William Samuel Schwartz is a striking example of a lithograph in the Cubist style. Schwartz uses bold, geometric shapes and simplified forms to depict an industrial landscape, highlighting the stark contrast between nature and man-made structures. The interplay of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dynamism, capturing the energy of the industrial world. Schwartz's work, known for its graphic style and focus on urban landscapes, offers a unique perspective on the modern world, reflecting the rapid industrialization of the early 20th century.
