Ernest Fiene
Winter Evening Fifth Avenue - New York at Night - Mid-Century.

1952

About the Item

Mid-century New York City is represented as a moment in time. The artist populates his scene with isolated figures that are more shapes of people as opposed to specific individuals. Ernest Fiene depicts Fifth Avenue looking down from 57th Street with an unobstructed view of the Empire State Building. The absence of newer glass and steel architecture gives the painting the charm of old New York. The artist captures a moody blue sky as light bounces back from the clouds. This contrasts with the somewhat haunting yellow glow given to the pedestrians and street traffic. The people have somewhat of a zombie quality akin to George Tooker. Best viewed with a top and direct gallery light to bring out color. With a side light you will get some refections off the canvas so light it properly. Provenance: Property from the Estate of Eleanor Jacobs.
