Industrial Cathedral
Industrial Cathedral is an orginal acrylic painting using acrylic paint, markers and wax bars by Nathalie Kalbach. The canvas measures 11x14 inches and comes with a simple wooden frame.
The Powerhouse, a structure that stands today in a state of neglect and abandonment.
In his application to the National Park System, John Gomez, founder of the Jersey City Landmarks Conservancy, eloquently described the powerhouse as a building that "unapologetically lacked rows of thick Corinthian columns, winged flagstones, or colossal statuary." Instead, it made its own architectural statement, akin to that of a church. Its irregular shape and grand soldiered windows evoked the spirit of a cathedral. The crowned smokestacks rose like spires, and its curved tower resembled a steeple.
This description resonates deeply with Nat, as she fell in love with the powerhouse from the moment sheI arrived in Jersey City. It was one of the first buildings she photographed while still living in Germany, and it became one of the first subjects she painted upon moving to the city. The powerhouse holds a special place in Nat’s heart, a symbol of enduring fascination and admiration.
