The Amazing Stow Wengenroth. This print of the Brooklyn Bridge is from very much the same angle as the first of this week, “Brooklyn Bridge in Winter”, though on a sunny day, without any snow in sight. The textures are again remarkable: the cables, the brick of the towers, the pattern of the wires in the left background (which reminds me of yesterday’s print by JT Arms, “Cobwebs”), the tall buildings seen through the left hand arch, partially through the web of cables on the left. The shadows of the cables falling on the wooden decking are exquisite. The subtle and not so subtle variations are kind of amazing.
