City Street: Fifth Avenue
By Ron Blumberg
Located in West Hollywood, CA
Presenting a just discovered oil painting from the earliest period, c.1932, of American artist Ron Blumberg. After completing his fine art studies art at La Grande Academie Chaumiere in Paris Ron Blumberg left for New York in 1932, where he worked for eight years as a National Academy artist and a member of the Art Students League.

City Street: Fifth Avenue, is an original oil on canvas, signed, c.1932, with an image dimension of 39 x 39 inches, good original condition with two very small restorations, set in a beautiful custom white gold frame.
