Night Windows
John Sloan – 1910. Etching on Laid Paper. Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington, DE.
An interesting piece of art that makes you see more detail the longer you look at it!
It reminded me straight away of this shot of Hong Kong at night, taken from The Peak, with the amazing glow coming off all the lights of the big city. It’s impossible to count all the windows in the photo, but you could just imagine the scene in the etching to be part of it, somewhere – especially considering the predilection of the Chinese for hanging their washing out of the windows in just such a way!
