The Ants, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Joseph Pennell is a captivating black and white lithograph that captures the bustling atmosphere of an industrial shipyard in the early 20th century. In this print, Pennell skillfully depicts a scene filled with cranes, docks, and ships under construction. The lithotint technique used by Pennell adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its overall impact. The stark contrast between light and shadow creates a dramatic effect, highlighting the intricate details of both the machinery and the workers at play. As we gaze upon this historical artwork housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , we are transported back in time to an era when shipbuilding was at its peak. The artist's attention to detail allows us to witness every aspect of this vibrant industry - from the background people going about their daily tasks to towering cranes lifting heavy loads with precision. Pennell's "The Ants" serves as a testament to human ingenuity and hard work, showcasing how these ants-like workers built magnificent vessels that would conquer waterways around the world. This print not only celebrates our rich industrial heritage but also pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to shaping our transportation systems through shipping. With its timeless appeal and artistic brilliance, "The Ants" continues to captivate art enthusiasts today while reminding us of our past achievements in transportation history.
