Organised geographically - with chapters on Fifth Avenue and Broadway, lower Manhattan, Central Park, the waterfront and bridges, the outer boroughs - this book chronicles the intersection of the city's history with art history. Sidebar references by writers such as Henry James are included.
This book will definitely appeal to fans of Impressionism as well as those who live in NYC. This book has wonderful paintings and sketches done at the turn of the century which also includes a bit of history of the artist and/or painting. It is organized by sections such as Central Park, Waterfront, etc. Superb book!
