American Dream is a beautifully rendered mezzotint by Art Werger, portraying a circular suburban neighborhood illuminated at night. From a high vantage point, the viewer looks down on winding streets, glowing streetlamps, and closely nestled homes, capturing both the comfort and quiet ambiguity of the American suburban ideal. Werger’s mastery of the mezzotint technique is evident in the deep blacks, velvety shadows, and soft gradations of light that define the scene.
