EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching by Joseph Pennell, titled "PENNELL: STANDARD OIL, 1923" takes us back to the early years of construction in southern Manhattan, New York City. The focal point of the artwork is the Standard Oil Building under construction, a magnificent skyscraper that would soon become an iconic symbol of American progress. The image showcases the bustling city streets with people going about their daily lives while cranes tower above them, emphasizing the scale and ambition of this architectural endeavor. The artist's attention to detail captures every intricate aspect of the building's exterior as it gradually rises towards the sky. Pennell's use of engraving techniques adds depth and texture to this historic scene. The contrast between light and shadow creates a sense of drama and highlights both the grandeur of the structure itself and its impact on its surroundings. As we gaze at this print from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in New York City's history. It serves as a reminder not only of Standard Oil's influence but also how architecture can shape urban landscapes for generations to come. This artwork truly encapsulates an era defined by growth, innovation, and ambition - all captured within one frame.
