The artwork's vantage point presents a scene where boats drift in the distance, and the skyline is punctuated by industrial structures, reflecting the city's rich architectural and maritime presence. Reimers' signature, "F. Reimers," is elegantly positioned in the bottom right corner, adding authenticity to the piece. A paper label affixed to the reverse provides additional painter details, further enhancing its provenance. Frame & Condition The painting remains in its original giltwood frame, preserving its classic aesthetic and historical integrity. Dimensions With frame: 27.38 in wide (69.5 cm) × 33.50 in high (85 cm) Opening view: 23.44 in wide (59.5 cm) × 29.5 in high (75 cm) A striking representation of New York's urban landscape, this artwork encapsulates Reimers's ability to convey movement, depth, and atmosphere with precision. Biography of Frederick E. Reimers (1911–1994) Frederick E. Reimers was born in New York City in 1911 and spent the later years of his life in Westfield, New Jersey, where he resided for 34 years until his passing on May 22, 1994. A dedicated chemical engineer, Reimers worked for 16 years at Amstar Co. in New York City before retiring in 1976. Before that, he spent 15 years as a chemical engineer at Merck & Co. in Rahway, New Jersey. His passion for art and craftsmanship also led him to become a ceramics teacher at the Westfield Recreation Department for 15 years. Beyond his professional contributions, Reimers was a local artist and an active member of several esteemed art organizations, including the Millburn-Short Hills Art Center, the Somerset Art Association, and the Westfield Art Association. His deep engagement with the art community reflected his lifelong dedication to creativity and expression. (Credit: The Joint Library, archives from The Times.)

Around East River, NYC Bridge, City Scene Oil Painting WPA Era 1940s
By Maurice Kish
Located in Surfside, FL
Genre: Modern Subject: Marine Landscape Medium: Oil Surface: Canvas Country: United States Dimensions w/Frame: 20.5" x 24.5" The imagery of Maurice Kish (1895-1987), whether factories or carousels, reliably subverts expectations. His vision hovers just around the unraveling edge of things, where what is solid and clear becomes ambiguous. He is fascinated, often delighted, by the falling apart. This unexpected, fresh perspective results in oddly affecting pictures of a now long-gone New York. Born Moishe in a town called Dvinsk, Russia (what is now Daugavpils, Latvia), Kish came with his family to New York when he was in his teens. The family settled in Brownsville, and for the rest of Kish’s life Brooklyn remained his home, though he moved from one neighborhood to another. He was close to his parents, who recognized his talent and supported his desire to become an artist. Kish attended the National Academy of Design as well as Cooper Union. His fellow students included many other immigrants and children of immigrants who were particularly receptive to the Modernism coming from Europe. As his career progressed, Kish himself applied different strains of Modernism to different purposes. For him, the story was held above all else. For years, Kish used the skills he acquired in art school to earn his living at a Manhattan glass...

59th Street Bridge, original realist New York City landscape
By Michael Davis
Located in Spring Lake, NJ
A veritable life line for New York City that connects the boroughs of Manhattan to Queens, NYC artist Michael Davis painted this original landscape in a realist style to ensure capturing the might and splendor that such an architectural and engineering achievement represents to civilization and certainly to New York. A colorist, Davis seeks simplicity of expression, with clean lines paired with love of his subject matter balanced with aquamarine skies and sapphire blue water. His addition of sky scrapers in the background adds scale and dimension. Davis earned his BFA from Pratt Institute of NYC where he is a life member of the famed Art Students League. Davis' work has shown in the Grand Central Gallery, the National Academy of Design, the Salmagundi Club and the National Arts Club among others. This original oil painting is shown in a champagne silver plein air frame...
