"Among the rain
and lights
I saw the figure 5
in gold
on a red
firetruck
moving
tense
unheeded
to gong clangs
siren howls
and wheels rumbling
through the dark city"
Written in 1920 by #WilliamCarlosWilliams, this poem and its imagery of a New York City fire engine rushing down the street inspired this 1928 painting—an abstract portrait of the poet—by artist #CharlesDemuth.
Today on the 19th anniversary of September 11th, Demuth’s painting and Williams' poem provide an unexpected moment of reflection and an acknowledgment of the modern members of Ladder Company 5, who were among the first responders to the tragic events of the day.
In an exceedingly challenging year for New York City and the world, this work brings renewed meaning to today—and we're reminded of the resilience and sacrifice of those who protect us in our darkest moments. We love you, New York.
🎨 Charles Demuth (American, 1883–1935). I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold, 1928. On view in Gallery 899. @metmodern
