Portrait of American 20th Century

1919–1919

American 20th Century was an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.

This artist left just two photo-based prints of St. Louis bridges from 1919—sharp, straight-down views printed in ink on paper. Both shots lock onto the Eads Bridge and the City Bridge with a grid of vertical lines and a single river line below, all done with the flat, factual look that early 20th-century photo-repro work favored before color took over. Tap The Eads Bridge, St. Louis to zoom in on the iron lace and stone towers, then scroll down to compare its twin print, The City Bridge, St. Louis.
