Capturing the Urban Landscape - A Glimpse into 1940s Detroit
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Arthur Siegel offers a unique perspective of a bustling parking lot, taken from the rear of the iconic Fisher Building in Detroit, Michigan. The year is 1942, and America finds itself deeply entrenched in World War II. Amidst this backdrop of global conflict, Siegel's lens focuses on everyday life and urban landscapes. The image showcases rows upon rows of automobiles neatly parked below, highlighting the significance of cars as symbols of progress and mobility during this era. The Fisher Building stands tall in the background, its grandeur contrasting with the utilitarian nature of the parking lot below. Siegel's composition captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects broader themes such as transportation infrastructure and cityscape development. As part of his work for both Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), Siegel documented American life during wartime with an artistic eye that emphasized color and detail. Today, this photograph serves as a visual testament to an important period in American history – one marked by resilience, innovation, and societal transformation. It reminds us that even amidst war-torn times, daily routines continued to unfold against backdrops like these – where people went about their lives while contributing to their country's efforts. Preserved within Library of Congress archives under Heritage Art collection, Arthurs Siegel's work continues to inspire viewers with its ability to transport us back to another time - inviting contemplation on how our cities have evolved since then while preserving glimpses into our collective past.
