“Welcome to Our City” is an artwork created by Charles Demuth in 1921. The painting belongs to the Precisionism art movement and is categorized under the cityscape genre.
The artwork depicts an urban scene characterized by geometric shapes and a sharp focus on architectural elements. Dominated by the bold representation of a building’s red rooftops and the dome structure, it reflects the industrial and modern aesthetic that Precisionism is known for. The composition is marked by clean lines and calculated use of color, which convey both the majesty and the rigidity of urban landscapes. The juxtaposition of the different architectural forms underlines the structured beauty of the cityscape, evoking a sense of order and clarity. The overlapping circular and triangular motifs in the background add a dynamic dimension, suggesting movement and energy within the city.
