My picture shows some similarities but also some differences from Hassam’s painting. My picture has a similar background of this part f the Brooklyn Bridge. Both images show a cloudy background. They both lack the ability to see a blue sky. However Hassam’s cloudiness is is different because of the winter setting. Also my picture is different because it shows the bridge in a more peaceful setting with no people while Hassam’s painting shows it as busy, possibly during rush hour where people are commuting to or from work or home. I haven’t been to the Brooklyn Bridge in quite a while and while I was there, I didn’t pay much attention to it. This assignment made me think about it in a different way especially since i now had Hassam’s painting to further give me a sense of interest. This makes me think about it more as art and not just a way of transportation. I now realize that it shows a great deal of architectural technique and creativity and is not just a simple bland bridge.
Dear Nicolas,
Glad the bridge lost its drab for you.
