Steel Mills at Night, 1926
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Aaron Henry Gorson is a captivating oil painting that transports viewers to the industrial landscape of early twentieth-century America. This mesmerizing artwork, measuring 86.5x91.5 cm, captures the essence of a bustling steel mill under the cover of darkness. The scene depicted in this painting showcases a harbor illuminated by intense glowing lights emanating from the steel mills and surrounding structures. The artist skillfully uses natural light to create reflections on the water's surface, adding depth and realism to the composition. Gorson's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of smoke billowing from chimneys and boats moored along the coastline. The darkened sky serves as a dramatic backdrop for this nocturnal setting, emphasizing both the power and environmental concerns associated with industrialization during this era. Through his tonalist style, Gorson not only captures an architectural feature but also conveys a sense of awe-inspiring beauty amidst an otherwise gritty industrial environment. This artwork stands as a testament to American industry while raising awareness about air pollution and its impact on nature. As we gaze upon "Steel Mills at Night" we are reminded of our complex relationship with progress and how it can simultaneously illuminate our lives while casting shadows over our natural spaces.
