Street Scene (New York) 1922

Jerome Myers' 1922 etching, "Street Scene (New York)", captures the vibrancy of a bustling New York City street. The artist's keen eye for detail is evident in the depiction of the children playing in front of a row of brick buildings, their figures rendered with simplicity and charm. The composition is balanced by the presence of a group of figures in the foreground, while a second group appears in the windows of an adjacent building, creating a sense of activity and community. This work is a testament to Myers' dedication to portraying the everyday life of working-class New Yorkers, capturing a slice of urban life in a dynamic and expressive manner.
