Will Henry Stevens (American/New Orleans, 1887-1949), "River Pilings, New Orleans", pastel on paper, signed lower right, 17 in. x 13 1/2 in., matted and framed. Note: Modernist artist Will Henry Stevens depicted realistic scenes of New Orleans in the 1930s. A favorite theme was views of the Mississippi River. In the drawing offered here, Stevens places a tall group of pilings in the foreground. A line of ships is docked on the horizon line under a dramatic cloudy sky. The strong geometry present in this work is a harbinger of Stevens' abstract style that he develops in the 1940s.
