The Voice of the City of New York Interpreted

Five tall panels rise together, each filled with stylized towers, bridges, and urban machinery rendered in blues, greens, oranges, and whites, suggesting the pulse of a modern metropolis. The composition is painted in oil and tempera on canvas, completed in 1920. Joseph Stella, an Italian-American artist associated with Futurism and Precisionism, created this work, now held at the Newark Museum.
