Houston Street 1917

"Houston Street" (1917) by American artist George Luks, is a vivid depiction of a bustling street scene in New York City. The painting captures the energy and movement of a busy street, with a crowd of people going about their day, many congregated around food vendors and carts. The loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors create a sense of immediacy and movement, characteristic of Luks's Ashcan School style. "Houston Street" is now part of the Saint Louis Art Museum's collection, offering viewers a glimpse into early 20th-century New York life.
