1910
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Old and New Mills, Valenciennes, France is a 1910 by Joseph Pennell, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a windmill in the foreground, with its wooden structure and large blades. In the background, there's a factory with smoke rising from it, set against a cloudy sky. The scene contrasts the old, traditional windmill with the new, industrial factory. The artist has used a range of tones to create depth and atmosphere in the painting. The windmill is depicted in a warm, earthy color, while the factory is shown in a cooler, more industrial tone. The contrast between the two creates a sense of tension and highlights the changing times. The painting is held at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
