Steeltown Twilight 1937

"Steeltown Twilight" is a 1937 etching by American artist Carl Hoeckner (1883-1972). The print depicts a steel mill city at dusk, with silhouetted buildings and a glowing furnace in the foreground, creating a dramatic and evocative image of industrial life. Hoeckner's use of light and shadow highlights the stark contrast between the man-made world of industry and the natural world. The print is a powerful representation of the changing urban landscape of the 20th century.
