Leo Meissner

Associated Names

Leo Meissner

Artist, American, 1895 - 1977

The image shows multiple window panes reflecting an urban scene of tall buildings with numerous windows. The color palette consists primarily of black and white, creating a stark contrast. A large grid-like window frame dominates the center of the image, with the reflection of a building's windows visible across the panes. A small decorative element, resembling a duck figurine, is placed on the window sill in front of the grid windows along the bottom edge.
