Max Oppenheimer

Associated Names

Max Oppenheimer

Artist, Austrian, 1885 - 1954

The image shows an aerial view of a cityscape at night with towering skyscrapers. The horizon is barely visible in the dark sky, blending with distant lights. Bold and angular brushstrokes capture the geometric forms of the buildings with a sense of energy. The color palette includes deep blacks, greys, and golden lights from windows and architectural details.
