Views of the city: 1910-1940
In the first half of the twentieth century the American urban landscape changed both rapidly and radically. Bridges, factories and skyscrapers became symbols of a changing America and New York the emblem of this change. It’s most famous buildings – Flatiron and Chrysler – and its bridges – Brooklyn, Queensborough, Washington and Manhattan – had a magnetic attraction for painters of the time.
Each artist “responded” in their own personal way to the changes taking place in the cities, using their own styles and methods, as such the exhibition becomes also an anthology of the trends which dominated the first half of the twentieth century.
From Georgia O’Keefe who lived with her husband Alfred Stiegelitz in Manhattan, to Edward Hopper based in Greenwich Village, from Man Ray to Joseph Stella, from Stuart Davis to Charles Demusth, Along with minor artists such as Berenice Abbott, Howard Cook and Jan Matulka.
