Untitled, Brooklyn Bridge

About the Item

A moody image of the Brooklyn Bridge looking toward Manhattan from the Brooklyn Side of the river. One of the nicest Brooklyn Bridge images we've seen, painted around 1915-1920, and containing elements of Ashcan, tonalism and impressionism. (Henry) Hobart Nichols (1869-1962) lived in Bronxville, NY for nearly 50 years and specialized in painting landscapes and winter scenes along the Bronx River. His work tends to the moody and tonalist. He was President of the National Academy and exhibited there, the Salmagundi Club and Grand Central Galleries many times. His work is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum, the Smithsonian, in the White House, the National Gallery and the Phillips Collection.

According to Theresa Bernstein, Meyerowitz's wife, Meyerowitz was particularly close to Duchamp and he and Marcel would often spend hours talking or playing chess. Throughout the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, Meyerowitz exhibited regularly across the United States and was also a teacher.
