The Radiator Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Steam Turbine all represent the shift from
             country naturalism to urban naturalism during the 1920s in art. The Radiator Building strongly
             depicted the shift of city life in its use of buildings but also despair in the change. The
             Brooklyn Bride represented a more optimistic change in city life. Steam Turbine, on the
             other hand, showed the real change that occurred in the 1920s and the growth of the new
             industrialist society. American artists exhibited the heightened importance and popularity in city
             life and the shift from the countryside to the city as the center of American life in the 1920s.
             The Radiator Building displays a tall building during the night. The building has many
             bright lights on even though it's clear during the light time. Already The Radiator Building is
             exhibiting many ideals of the 1920s. The showcasing of a tall building represents the new shift
             in metropolis culture through the introduction of the skyscraper. As cities' "bustle" grew and
             architectural space lessened and prices for land increased, a new architectural style for building
             upward arose. The Radiator Building displays this new change, especially through the fact that
             the artist depicts "the radiator building" nestled between two buildings on either side that are
             considerably shorter than it. The fact that more lights in the building are off than on also
             portrays the American artist's response to the changes of the 1920s. The city took on a new
             excitement as the "roaring twenties" emerged. Through the artist's choice of nighttime and the
             use of the lights in the different rooms of the building, the artist emphasized the change in urban
             cities. The blandness of the painting though, void of detail and action, can symbolize the artist
             sense of the emptiness of modern life which literary writers such as T.S. Elliot sympathized with.
