St. Mark's Place
1951–1952

A vibrant and detailed painting depicting a bustling street scene from an earlier era, with a mix of architectural styles. In the foreground, a couple stands on the sidewalk, while various individuals engage in daily activities. The street is lined with businesses, including a rooming house and a second-hand clothing center, and a vintage car is parked on the road. The elevated train tracks in the background suggest an urban setting, and the overall atmosphere is lively and colorful.
