description: <p>Versed in the European modernist styles that he encountered during trips to Europe, Charles Demuth practiced a distinctive style of precisionism that explored American cityscapes such as New York, Gloucester and Provincetown in Massachusetts, and his native Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Here, Demuth took a high vantage point, looking across pitched black roofs to the chimneys, blocky warehouses, and factories beyond. The enigmatic title is characteristic for this period of Demuth's work.</p>
