Trotsky, captures the essence of Times Square and its iconic taxis. Measuring 36" x 48" on oil on linen, with the frame full dimensions are 41" x 53". This piece was framed by J. Pocker & Son, renowned for high-end art since 1926. The artwork depicts a city street during dusk or early morning, employing gestural and impressionistic techniques to convey the atmosphere of a cool, damp morning with low light, offering a captivating glimpse into the bustling atmosphere of the Big Apple. Specifically, it portrays Broadway facing south on the north end of Times Square, featuring the Palace Theatre sign and a portion of the former Embassy Suites Hotel on the left, along with the distinctive yellow cabs of the 1990s lining the streets, their taillights reflecting in the dampness. In the distance, the silhouette of the Paramount Building only adds to the cityscape's dynamic allure. The painting is evocative, transporting viewers to the vibrant charms and moods of New York City. While in excellent condition, a professional cleaning could further enhance its vibrancy, although its current state perfectly captures the tone of New York City in the early 1990s. See less
