EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Elevated Railway, New York, 1916" by artist Martin Lewis takes us back to the bustling streets of early 20th century America. The image showcases a scene from New York City's elevated railway system, capturing the essence of urban transportation during this era. The vibrant color and intricate detailing bring this historical moment to life. As we gaze at the painting, we are transported to a time when trains were an integral part of daily life in the city that never sleeps. The elevated tracks stretch into the distance, disappearing among towering buildings and creating a sense of depth and perspective. Intriguingly, amidst the architectural marvels and mechanical wonders lies a glimpse into human lives. Background people can be seen going about their day - some waiting for their train while others rush past on foot. This juxtaposition between motion and stillness adds an element of dynamism to the composition. Martin Lewis skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the spirit of New York City in his artwork. Through his masterful use of color and attention to detail, he transports us back in time and allows us to experience firsthand what it was like to ride along these elevated railways. This print is not just a beautiful piece of art; it is also a window into history – an opportunity for us to reflect on how transportation has evolved over time while appreciating the rich heritage that defines our cities today.
