"Brooklyn Bridge, East River" 1916 oil on canvas by Edmund William Greacen (1877-1949) at @cummermuseum the Cummer Museum of Art in Jacksonville, Florida. Written near the painting: This view of the Brooklyn Bridge was probably painted from the roof of Edmund Greacen's building on East 18th Street, the first apartment building erected in all of New York. With his use of broken brushwork and sketchy atmospheric color, the artist captured several aspects of the big city. He juxtaposed the gritty energetic foreground of industrial buildings with the beautifully subdued and suffused background of the East River and the Brooklyn skyline. #edmundgreacen #edmundwilliamgreacen #brooklynbridge #brooklynbridgeeastriver #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #cummermuseum #cummermuseumofartandgardens #i❤️ny #exploringnewyork #dailyritual #exploringnewyorkweek (at The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens)

"Related to St. Paul's, New York" 1928 oil on canvas by John Marin (1872-1953) at @cummermuseum the Cummer Museum of Art in Jacksonville, Florida. About John Marin courtesy of the Phillips Collection website: John Marin, an early American modernist closely associated with Alfred Stieglitz, was born and raised in New Jersey. From 1899 to 1901, Marin studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts under Thomas P. Anshutz and Hugh Breckenridge. After spending a few weeks in 1905 at the Art Students League, New York, Marin left for Europe. While in Paris in 1908, he met the photographer Edward Steichen, who referred his work to Alfred Stieglitz, whose gallery in New York was an important showcase for avant-garde art. #johnmarin #relatedtostpaulsnewyork #oiloncanvas #oilpainting #cummermuseum #cummermuseumofartandgardens #exploringnewyork #i❤️ny #dailyritual #exploringnewyorkweek (at The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens)
