DescriptionThe East Building of the National Gallery of Art was designed by I.M. Pei and constructed from 1968 to 1978. Set on a trapezoidal site and based on interlocking triangles, it is an icon of DC architecture. Here, Kothari captures the play of light and shadow on the sharp angles of the building.
