Caption: No greater contrast could be imagined than the Woolworth Tower as Fornaro sees it and the same structure as [John] Marin sees it. The first is an impressionist, the second a futurist. The mind of Fornaro is precise, mathematical, formal; the mind of Marin is anarchic, dithyrambic, color-struck. Fornaro conveys to us a sense of titanic power working in a milieu of sinister beauty. Marin gives us a sense of luminous humor, a mock danse macabre of triumphant life. Benjamin De Casseres.
