1921
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Looking through Brooklyn Bridge is a 1921 by C. R. W. Nevinson, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows the underside of the Brooklyn Bridge, with thick cables and metal beams filling the frame. The lines crisscross sharply, creating a web of shadows and shapes. In the background, faint city buildings peek through, barely visible. The artist focused on the bridge’s raw structure, almost like a blueprint. The sketch feels rough and quick, with loose lines that still capture the bridge’s strength. Check out *The Cleveland Museum of Art* to see this work in person.
Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson (13 August 1889 – 7 October 1946) was an English figure and landscape painter, etcher and lithographer, who was one of the most famous war artists of the First World War.
