A Typical Brooklyn View


From a short essay by Astrid Reuter in the Cezanne "Metamorphoses" catalog on his use of watercolor:  "The perception of the object rather than the object itself... became the real subject of the representation."  Actually it's really the growing awareness that perception is the dominating factor.  

The painting represents a typical Brooklyn view (Classon Avenue near St. Marks Avenue).  6x8 oil on panel.
