Untitled (New York Harbor Scene)

1931

Edna L. Perkins

Associated Names

Edna L. Perkins

Artist, American, 1907 - 1962

The image shows a harbor scene with a city skyline in the distance. Prominent buildings are silhouetted against the sky, creating a horizon line. Water, vessels, buildings, and structures are visible, rendered with textured brushstrokes. The color scheme is monochromatic in black, white, and gray. Ships emit smoke, and the waters are busy with boats. Blocky buildings rise in the background, softened by the painting technique.
