Keystone Print

About this work

This print shows a busy train yard with old-fashioned streetcars and cars parked nearby. A worker in a cap stands near the tracks, holding a toolbox. Overhead, power lines stretch across a cloudy sky, and buildings line the background. The artist used bold black lines and simple shapes to create a busy, industrial scene. The contrast between light and dark areas gives the print depth, even though it’s mostly black and white. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
