MODERNIST ROOFTOP CITYSCAPE (1960s)

MODERNIST ROOFTOP CITYSCAPE (1960s)The unique perspective of this modernist cityscape captures the charm of New York Citys 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 Czanne, as do the busy brushstrokes, creating a mottled tapestry of speckles across the sky and the window

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.
