EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the iconic Art Deco beauty of The Chrysler Building in New York City, taken in the year 2008. The Chrysler Building, a silver beacon of architectural brilliance, rises majestically against the clear blue sky, showcasing its distinctive stepped-back design and intricate ornamentation. Located in the heart of Manhattan, this American masterpiece was completed in 1930 and stands at an impressive height of 1,046 feet. Designed by architect William Van Alen, The Chrysler Building was the world's tallest building for just eleven months before being surpassed by the Empire State Building. The Chrysler Building is a testament to the Art Deco movement, which gained popularity in the 1920s and 1930s. The style is characterized by its bold geometric shapes, rich colors, and lavish ornamentation. The Chrysler Building embodies these elements, with its stainless steel cladding, terra cotta façade, and intricate gargoyles and eagles adorning the towering structure. This photograph by Paul Brown, from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of The Chrysler Building's timeless elegance and enduring allure. It is a reminder of a bygone era when buildings were not just functional structures but works of art that graced the urban landscape. Whether viewed from the ground or from the sky, The Chrysler Building continues to inspire awe and admiration, making it a beloved symbol of New York City and American architecture.
