Iconic Brooklyn Bridge repeatedly captures artists' imaginations, never more so than in this nocturne. Gaon prefers night scenes and views Manhattan's bridges as the pillars upon which the City's urban vibrancy is built.
DescriptionNight view of Brooklyn Bridge, drawn from left to upper right side of canvas. Lights reflect in the water of the East River. Thick impasto and highly expressionistic.ClassificationsPAINTINGS
