The Eskenazi Museum of Art notes in their cataloging of a print of this view "Although best known for his nudes in studio interiors, Pearlstein began a series of large-scale landscapes in 1974 during a visit to the Canyon de Chelly. While he envisioned this body of work as a meditation on ruins, it included this contemporary view of Manhattan. Pearlstein explained that it was inspired by Joseph Pennell's sepia-colored WWI poster showing an apocalyptic bombing of New York City. To produce his image, Pearlstein taped a grid on the window of his friends' Soho apartment and spent every Sunday for several months painstakingly recording the vista. The scene—which he described as a 'pre-ruin'—is eerily prophetic with the shadowy World Trade Center towers visible in the background." less
