Description
Mid-century artist Lawrence Kupferman paints a madly eerie New York street scene. An exaggerated upward view of two 19th-century walk-ups is split by a forced perspective of a downward view of a street that leads to deeper space. Every window is populated with a haunting caricature face or figure staring out at the viewer. The work is characterized by deliberate crudeness reminiscent of George Grosz, the New Objectivity art movement, and social realists such as Ben Shahn and William Gropper. The more one looks at the work. the more it energizes ones desire to look at it more.
