Central Park in Winter 1905

"Central Park in Winter" (1905) by William James Glackens captures the iconic New York City park blanketed in snow. Glackens, known for his vibrant depictions of city life, uses bold brushstrokes to depict the scene. The painting showcases a playful energy with figures enjoying winter activities, like sledding. The cool blue hues and stark contrasts create a sense of serenity and winter's beauty. Glackens's work is part of the Ashcan School, a movement known for its realistic portrayal of everyday life in early 20th-century America.
