EDITORS COMMENTS
DRIGGS: PITTSBURGH, 1927 captures the essence of a rapidly industrializing city. Painted by Elsie Driggs in 1927, this oil on canvas artwork showcases the skyline of Pittsburgh during a time when it was known as the Steel City. The painting depicts towering smokestacks and factory buildings that dominate the landscape, emitting billowing clouds of smoke into the air. The artist skillfully uses silhouettes to highlight the architectural structures against an orange-hued sky, creating a dramatic contrast between light and dark. This technique emphasizes both the power and beauty found within these steelworks. Driggs' work also serves as a commentary on early environmental concerns. The thick plumes of smoke symbolize pollution resulting from industrial activities, reminding viewers of the consequences associated with rapid urbanization and technological advancement. As part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, this fine art print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Driggs' modernist approach to capturing urban landscapes. It provides a glimpse into Pittsburgh's history as one of America's major manufacturing centers during this era. This piece is not only aesthetically pleasing but also prompts reflection on our relationship with industry and its impact on our environment.
