Queensboro Bridge 1930

Howard Cook's 1930 "Queensboro Bridge" is a striking black and white print that exemplifies the artist's signature style of bold, graphic lines and simplified forms. This print depicts the iconic Queensboro Bridge in New York City, with a tall industrial chimney rising in the background, creating a sense of urban grandeur. The simplified, geometric shapes and stark contrasts add to the overall sense of dynamism and urban life, making it a classic example of the American Scene movement. The print's precise lines and detailed rendering capture the bridge's intricate structure, while the cars and pedestrians in the foreground offer a glimpse into the city's bustling life.
