In focus: NEW YORK CITY Brooklyn Bridge

Art Analysis

From the artist, Melanie Viola

The Brooklyn Bridge in New York City and is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the US. It connects Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River. This is a beautifully architectural cityscape with it’s steel cable construction in detail. Fantastic cityscape from a series of additional urban impressions.

Symmetrical cables and wooden path

This black and white photograph uses a low viewpoint to look straight down the center of the wooden pedestrian walkway. The path recedes into the distance, leading the eye directly toward the two pointed arches of the stone bridge tower. Numerous dark cables cut across the sky in diagonal and vertical lines, creating a dense pattern above the walkway. In the background, rectangular buildings of the city skyline sit low on the horizon under a sky filled with wispy clouds.

The composition relies on symmetry, with the wooden planks of the path and the bridge cables framing the center of the image. A single tall lamp post on the right side of the walkway breaks the symmetry slightly. Below the photographic frame, the location is identified by three lines of plain black text naming the city, the bridge, and the country. The lack of color emphasizes the different textures of the wood, stone, and steel construction.

This piece belongs to a series of urban impressions that document famous landmarks in cities such as London, Paris, and San Francisco.
