Study for Brooklyn Bridge Joseph Stella (American, born Italy, 1877-1946). Study for Brooklyn Bridge, 1922. Pastel on medium-weight laid paper, 22 1/2 x 18 in. ( x cm). Inspired by the imposing architectural profiles and irrepressible energy of New York City, Joseph Stella completed his first painting of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1920 and returned to the theme a number of times in succeeding years. Stella used pastel as an experimental mode in which to work out his denser and highly finished modernist abstractions in oil. American Art 1922
