This pen, ink, and gouache artwork is an early example by renowned illustrator Cardwell Higgins. A sublime offering in his art deco style, this shows a cityscape at night, with anonymous windows lit up throughout, menaced by a red bolt of lightning, suggesting the tremendous electric power humanity was trying to harness from nature in the early 20th century.   Signed and dated 1932 lower right, this is framed in a fitting and stylish custom frame.
