Nocturne, 34th Street
1932

A vibrant expressionist painting depicting a bustling city street scene at night, with a theater marquee that reads "345 Theatre" illuminating the sidewalk. An elevated train track runs above the street, and vintage automobiles are parked along the curb. Pedestrians are strolling on the sidewalks, and various shop signs, including one for a dentist and a bird shop, are visible. The artwork is signed and dated 1932.
