Note du spécialiste

World War I and its new Machine Age technologies inspired the foundational artistic movements of the Modernist genre, emphasizing sharp lines and geometric, manmade motifs. The present example, an abstraction of modern warfare, reveals these influences and anticipates the industrial imagery for which Joseph Stella became known, particularly his Precisionist portrayals of the Brooklyn Bridge of the 1920s.
