Street Scenes

New York in 1939

And the Early 40's

 

 

 

These sketches reflect his first impressions of New York in 1939 and in the early forties. They are on inexpensive slips of paper, no larger than 5 by 8 inches. Many are smaller. Nearly all were hastily done in pencil on the street, in restaurants, or on a subway.

I have always thought they present a very true and accurate portrait of New York in the early forties. I have more than 140 of them. Here is a sampling.
