Summary:

Enjoy the many faces and moods of New York: Hippolyte Sebron's horsedrawn trucks racing through the snow to a fire on Lower Broadway in the mid-nineteenth century; John Sloan's working-class women chatting on the rooftop in the early twentieth; a dramatic urban nightscape by Georgia O'Keeffe -- and many more.

No other city has been painted, sculptured, and photographed so often and to such effect. In this classic gift volume, the romance and reality of city life is celebrated in forty-one color plates, with text by Grace Glueck, for many years a reporter and writer on art for the New York Times. Author of Brooklyn: People and Places, Past and Present, Glueck lives in Manhattan.
