EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print by Frederick Childe Hassam transports us back to the late 19th century, immersing us in the grandeur of the World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893. The focal point of this artwork is the magnificent Electricity Building, standing tall and proud amidst a bustling American city street. Hassam's impressionist style beautifully captures the play of light on the building's facade, highlighting its architectural details and emphasizing its significance as a symbol of progress and innovation. The artist skillfully uses vibrant watercolors to depict a lively scene filled with people going about their daily lives. As we gaze at this masterpiece, our eyes are drawn to a gondola gliding along a nearby canal, adding an unexpected touch of maritime charm to this urban setting. It serves as a reminder that even within bustling cities like Chicago, there are moments where tranquility can be found. The World's Columbian Exposition was an extraordinary event that showcased advancements in various fields such as electricity - hence the prominence given to the Electricity Building in this artwork. This print not only captures an important moment in history but also celebrates human ingenuity and creativity. With its fine art quality and attention to detail, this watercolor print allows us to experience firsthand what it might have been like walking through those streets during one of America's most significant fairs.
