Edward Hopper, From the Williamsburg Bridge, 1928. Oil on canvas.
In this painting, Hopper depicts the austere facades of four apartment buildings and reduces the steel suspension of the Williamsburg Bridge to the margins. Completed in 1903 and connecting Brooklyn with Manhattan, the structure is indicated only by the unobtrusive railing rising at a slight diagonal along the bottom of the canvas. As opposed to focusing on the bridge that facilitates movement in and out of the city, Hopper creates an image absent of noise or motion. He emphasizes the alienation and anonymity of urban life by including a single figure: a woman sitting alone in a top story window.

Mandibuzz perches atop of the magnificent Manhattan Bridge. She notes that it reminders her of a particularly marvelous bridge over in Unova.

Kids cool off by diving into the East River off a pier at Grand Street on the Lower East Side, July 3, 1935. The Williamsburg Bridge is in the background.
