Every time you look at it you see something you did not see before.  The street has the gleam from a misting of rain upon it, while the people on the sidewalk are huddled together.  The light from the tower above them shines like a beacon to lead their way.  The buildings showing their faces in so many different ways, capturing and reflecting light and color in this masterful piece of artistry brushed on canvas.  The background shows very tiny craculature denoting the age of this unusual cubist painting.  *  Look at some of the great cubist painters and compare you will not be disappointed.  The artistry in this painting is truly second to none.  There is some craculature in the painting due to age and a spot or two of inpainting.  It is signed on the back stretcher bar Betty Mackie and titled, New York City, midnite.    *  For additional photos please leave an e-mail address and I will get them to you as soon as possible.  Contact me at least 48 hours before end of sale.    Note: Shipping  for this painting will be in the $40.00 to $45.00 range, lower 48, insurance is additional and recommended.  All others please ask for a quote at the end of sale.  Thank you for looking.  Place a Bid!
