In this photo, Feininger depicts an aerial view of Manhattan. Within this depiction, Feininger highlights the contrast between chaos and order in the city. The photo features a stunning composition of towering skyscrapers within the grid layout of the city. By capturing this scene at an offset angle, Feininger also exaggerates the soaring heights of the city as the angle allows the viewers to see the massiveness of the buildings within the city. Much like this photo, New York City is an interesting and vast combination of chaos and order, and Feininger successfully illustrates this within the photo.
