Leicester Galleries 45; Guichard 30; Black 72. Edition 75. A hauntingly modern answer to the Whistlerian Nocturne, Two A.M. (Metropolis) captures the electric stillness of a Manhattan midnight. In this 1920 drypoint, Nevinson replaces the soft river mists of the 19th century with the stark, rhythmic geometry of Madison Square. By utilizing a masterful range of tonal wiping, he allows the artificial glow of the city to emerge from a deep, velvety darkness. This pristine impression stands as a landmark of 20th-century printmaking, documenting the moment when the 'poetic vision' of the past was recharged by the restless energy of the modern machine age.
