When completed in 1937, the Golden Gate was the longest and tallest suspension bridge in the world. It spans the mile-wide strait connecting San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean.
Of the four examples highlighted in the 20th Century time capsule below, the Golden Gate Bridge, representing design in the Americas and Pacific, is the only one I’d already painted -- back in 2010 actually. I'll be painting the other three over the next few weeks.
