Sidney Hurwitz: Images of Industry
Ford Graphics Gallery

For years, Sidney Hurwitz has focused his printmaking on images from the steel industry and related industrial and urban subjects. Working primarily with aquatint etchings, he watercolors the monochromatic prints by hand. Hurwitz finds American industry to be a great source of visual material, and by focusing on the geometric forms of bridges, factories and train stations, the compositions take on abstract qualities.
