From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Munition Town is a 1916 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a town with many buildings and factories. There are railroad tracks and trains in the foreground. The scene is set in a valley with hills rising up on either side. The colors are muted, with shades of gray and brown dominating the palette. In the background, smoke rises from the factories, giving the impression of a bustling industrial center. The overall atmosphere is one of activity and energy, with the trains and factories suggesting a sense of industry and progress. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Pennell, Joseph, who was known for his depictions of industrial landscapes.
Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
