Summary

Illustration shows a shadowy outline of the Woolworth Building.
Title from right half of centerfold.
Caption: No greater contrast could be imagined than the Woolworth Tower as Fornaro sees it and the same structure as [John] Marin sees it. The first is an impressionist, the second a futurist. The mind of Fornaro is precise, mathematical, formal; the mind of Marin is anarchic, dithyrambic, color-struck. Fornaro conveys to us a sense of titanic power working in a milieu of sinister beauty. Marin gives us a sense of luminous humor, a mock danse macabre of triumphant life. Benjamin De Casseres.

Illus. in: Puck, v. 75, no. 1938 (1914 April 25), left half of centerfold (p. 10).
