Waterfront

Texto del museo

Based on the English lettering on the warehouse in the middle of this image, Frank Wilcox likely depicted a boat house in his native Cleveland. The composition is evenly balanced, with the rigging of a ship bordering the left and the wooden boards of the dock structure on the right. About half of the image is devoted to a blank sky, which lightens the otherwise dark scene and suggests calm weather for the figures in boats. Wilcox began teaching at the Cleveland School of Art in 1913 as the head of the landscape department.
