About the Item

Ernest Fiene depicts Fifth Avenue, looking down from 57th Street, with an unobstructed view of the Empire State Building, as an evocation of night. The artist captures a dark, moody blue sky, with light bouncing back from the clouds. This contrasts with the somewhat haunting yellow glow given to pedestrians and street traffic. The absence of newer glass-and-steel architecture provides the painting with the charm of old New York. The people have a slightly zombie-like quality, akin to George Tooker. Best viewed with a top and direct gallery light to reveal the colors and provide the best viewing experience. The painting would benefit from cleaning and new varnish. Currently, the existing varnish is a little shiny.
