House Bricks - A Glimpse into the Past Construction Boom in Forest Hills, Queens
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Martin Forstenzer takes us back to the bustling housing project on Queens Boulevard in Forest Hills, Queens, New York during the 1950s. The image showcases a large pile of house bricks neatly stacked against each other, symbolizing the ambitious construction efforts that were transforming this vibrant neighborhood. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on these humble yet essential building blocks. Each brick represents countless hours of labor and craftsmanship invested by hardworking individuals who contributed to shaping their community's future. This snapshot captures a pivotal moment in time when progress was palpable and dreams for new homes were being realized. Forstenzer's keen eye for detail is evident as he masterfully contrasts light and shadow within this monochromatic composition. The stark contrast adds depth and texture to the photograph, emphasizing both the individuality of each brick while highlighting their collective strength as a group. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Storehouse, we are reminded not only of the physical structures they helped create but also of the stories embedded within these bricks – stories of hope, ambition, and resilience that continue to resonate with us today.
