Evening, Factories on the River, 1923
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by American artist Aaron Henry Gorson. This early twentieth-century masterpiece depicts an elevated view of industrial factories lining the riverbank at dusk. The artist skillfully captures the atmospheric twilight, with a tonalist approach that emphasizes the play of light and shadow. Gorson's attention to detail is evident in his precise rendering of architectural features such as chimneys and smokestacks, which dominate the skyline against a backdrop of smoky skies. The scene evokes a sense of both awe and concern as it portrays not only the beauty of nature but also highlights environmental issues such as air pollution caused by industrialization. The absence of human figures allows viewers to focus solely on the imposing presence of these factories and their impact on the natural space surrounding them. Through this artwork, Gorson raises awareness about the consequences of rapid industrial growth during this era. This particular print showcases "Evening, Factories on the River" in all its glory, allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate Gorson's mastery from any location. Its large size (86.5x112 cm) ensures that every intricate detail can be admired up close. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of Gorson's artistic brilliance but also prompted to reflect upon our own responsibility towards preserving our environment for future generations.
