Comments: In "Bridge with Underpath between Buildings, Manhattan", one senses his capture of the compression of many structural styles interpenetrating the thrust of the bridge, which almost dematerializes as it rushes upward while the isolated elevation of the tower in the distant upper right serves to balance the darkness of the lower-central underpass.
