Venice, Boats 1912

"Venice, Boats" is a 1912 ink and wash drawing by American artist Oscar F. Bluemner (1867-1938). The drawing captures a characteristic scene in Venice, with boats passing under a bridge and a glimpse of the city's architecture in the background. Bluemner's use of bold, expressive lines and a limited palette creates a sense of movement and depth, drawing the viewer into the scene. This is a quintessential example of Bluemner's work, which often explored urban landscapes and architectural subjects with a focus on expressive form and color.
