Howard Kanovitz

New Yorkers I
1965

A painting depicting a group of men in a dark room, with a large window in the background showing a view of apartment buildings. The men appear to be engaged in a serious discussion, some seated around a table, while others stand or lean against the wall. The color palette is dominated by browns and dark tones, with the outside light contrasting the interior scene.
