AGE OF INDUSTRY
AGE OF INDUSTRY
A lover of personal humanity and unspoiled natural beauty, one of Hoppé’s most striking themes was a seemingly contradictory one, the world of heavy industry. As a humanist, he saw the aesthetic, personal dimension of creation, for good or bad, that manifested itself in factories, mines, shipyards, railroads, and even their belching smokestacks.
"No man can stand beneath the span of some mighty bridge with its soaring pillars and not feel that inherent something that lifts him above the physical plane, reaching out to immensities veiled from full understanding."
– E.O. Hoppé
