The lithograph 'Metropolitan Bridge' by Marius Girard, created in 1963, encapsulates the modernist and mid-century approach characteristic of 1960s graphic art. Measuring 100 × 38 cm, the composition features an expressive cityscape dominated by elongated verticals of bridges and architecture. The background offers a fluid gradient of olive greens, subdued ochres, and warm browns interwoven with deep blacks, while accents of orange and red enliven some windows and parts of the scene. The print has a matte surface with a distinctly textural, painterly effect, achieved through layered printing and intentionally rough, sketch-like black lines intersected by geometric color blocks. The artist's signature appears in the lower left corner. The artwork is preserved in very good condition with only minor signs of age that are typical for vintage graphics of the era, exhibiting no evident damage or restoration.
This lithograph narrates a chapter of postwar American life, where urban growth, industrial strength, and the quiet anonymity of sprawling metropolises inspired artistic exploration. The bridge emerges between architectural forms and shadows, at once dividing and connecting two realms: the built environment and the open sky, the past and the future. The dynamic, painterly application evokes emotions aligned with an urban rhythm—tinged with unease, nostalgia, and ceaseless movement. In its lines and layered hues, one senses the voice of 1960s city life, when art and the everyday merged to create poignant, though restrained, visions of modern
