Summary
[edit]DescriptionJohn Cunning - Manhattan Skyline, 1934.jpg |
English: This panoramic view of lower Manhattan seen from Brooklyn was an absorbing artistic project for artist John Cunning. He wrote to the Public Works of Art Project asking for more time. The artist needed many days to study the scene, capturing winter light effects on the many structures he described in detail.
New York City goes about its varied daily businesses in Cunning's painting, despite the Depression. Whether or not their offices were full of workers, the Farmer's Trust Building, 120 Wall Street, the Bank of Manhattan, 60 Wall Tower, and the Singer Building towered proudly against the gray sky. Commuters who still had jobs had come from the outer boroughs in the ferry boats shown tied up at the Manhattan docks. Tugboats steam up and down the East River pulling barges and guiding the great ships that arrived in New York from all over the world. On the Brooklyn shore, cargo ships are tied up for loading or unloading. The men in the foreground are removing snow from the roofs of a coffee warehouse on Water Street near the Brooklyn Bridge. |
