View of the financial district in lower Manhattan featuring the Statue of Liberty prominently in New York Harbor amidst boats, skyscrapers punctuating the sky line, and the Brooklyn Bridge in the distance.
Lowell, an emigrant from Latvia, studied at the Art Students League, and with artists Siddons Mowbray and Gutzon Borglum. He is well known for his views of New York, emphasizing the steel and granite splendors of bridges, monuments, and tall buildings. He taught art at Hunter College and at the New School in New York City, and his works are represented in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Newark Museum, and the New York Public Library. Generally very good, with only minor toning. Ample margins. Small tear on verso neatly restored. |
