futuristic transport art inspired by the movie Metropolis


Above is the original street view from 1926 as featured in the Fritz Lang film, and two paintings clearly inspired by it from German futurist Klaus Bürgl: the first one from 1959 and the second from 10 years later.

There are numerous other examples of artwork with this general theme; one was included in our book Wellington: a Capital century, available in our online shop.
