About the Item

Eugene Camille Fitsch paints a quick and loose impression of Old New York at night. In the foreground, we see people entering the El and some standing in front of a Newsstand. The El's metal roof divides the composition horizontally into the two worlds. The bottom is for pedestrians, and the top is allotted to soaring skyscrapers with their dramatic lighting. The moody dark blue color scheme conveys the spirit of the city with a multitude of light sources. The work is more abstract than representational, as the artist focuses on color, shape, form, and glowing light to create an emotionally charged composition. Elegantly framed to 34.5 x 27 x 2.5 Signed lower right - Provenance: Bonhams, New York, D. Wigmore Fine Art. Good/Fair. We are unsure, but the painting may have been slightly over-cleaned to reveal some of the underlying canvas texture. Then again, it may not have been. Its current state could be very close to how the artist created it, with thin paint in some areas and some light impasto in other regions. It has been revarnished; in its current state, it presents well with bright, saturated colors.

Winter Evening Fifth Avenue Nocturne - New York at Night

Ernest FieneWinter Evening Fifth Avenue Nocturne - New York at Night, 1952

Winter Evening Fifth Avenue Nocturne - New York at Night

By Ernest Fiene

Located in Miami, FL

Ernest Fiene depicts Fifth Avenue, looking down from 57th Street, with an unobstructed view of the Empire State Building, as an evocation of night. The artist captures a dark, moody blue sky, with light bouncing back from the clouds. This contrasts with the somewhat haunting yellow glow given to pedestrians and street traffic. The absence of newer glass-and-steel architecture provides the painting with the charm of old New York. The people have a slightly zombie-like quality, akin to George Tooker. Condition: Good/Fair. Best viewed with a top and direct gallery light...
