專家說明

Born in Russia, Abraham Walkowitz met Alfred Stieglitz in 1912 and exhibited in his first show at Stieglitz's gallery 291 that December. As epitomized by the present work executed during that seminal year, "Walkowitz's view of the city is a modernist's. He sees in it the opening for abstraction, in the grid of buildings, flat patterning of façades, and distortions of continuous space. At the same time, he conveys the intense energy of the metropolis as though the city itself were personified." (G.S. Bernstein, The Teresa Jackson Weill Collection of Art, Waltham, Massachusetts, 1980, p. 50)
