From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Union Square is a 1904 ink by Joseph Pennell, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a city park with tall buildings in the background, created using black lines on paper. The artist used a special style to draw this scene from high up, showing bare trees and small people. This style is interesting because it uses many small dots to create the image, which was a new way of drawing back then. Check out the technique of lithography to learn more about how this was made.
Joseph Pennell (July 4, 1857 – April 23, 1926) was an American draftsman, etcher, lithographer, and illustrator for books and magazines.
