Glow of The City | Martin Lewis | 1929

Glow of the City (1929) by Martin Lewis is a masterful drypoint etching capturing the quiet poetry of urban life in 1920s New York. A solitary woman stands on a fire escape, her figure silhouetted against the softly illuminated skyline, where the Chanin Building glows in the evening haze. Lewis contrasts the intimacy of the tenement world—marked by hanging laundry and telephone wires—with the distant glamour of the modern city, evoking themes of isolation, aspiration, and the subtle interplay between light and shadow in the urban night.
