The unique perspective of this modernist cityscape captures the charm of New York City’s outer-borough rooftops. Its soft, cheery palette creates a calming yet lively atmosphere, as if a quiet morning was dawning over the pre-war brick buildings. The bold, black outlines define discrete planes of color that may remind viewers of the later work of Cézanne, as do the busy brushstrokes, creating a mottled tapestry of speckles across the sky and the window-glass. An engaging work from a skilled, unknown American painter.
