The edge of city (Bronx) 1941

David Burliuk's "The edge of city (Bronx)" from 1941 depicts a vibrant scene of everyday life in the Bronx, New York. The painting showcases a bustling urban environment, with children playing in a makeshift playground surrounded by buildings and industrial structures. The artist's use of bold colors and expressive brushstrokes captures the energy and vitality of the neighborhood. Burliuk, a prominent figure in the early 20th-century avant-garde movement, was known for his interest in social realism, bringing to life the lives of ordinary people in a gritty yet compelling way. This piece is a testament to his ability to capture the essence of urban life and the human spirit.
