Jefferson Market (New York City) 1931

American artist Aaron Bohrod's 1931 lithograph "Jefferson Market (New York City)" depicts a bustling city scene with a starkly simplified style and bold black lines. The prominent tower of Jefferson Market, with its clock face, contrasts with the elevated train track in the foreground, highlighting the dynamic energy of New York City's urban landscape. Bohrod's signature use of bold lines and dramatic light and shadow creates a sense of depth and movement, typical of the American Scene movement. The lithograph's composition, with its dynamic lines and contrasting light and dark, captures the essence of urban life in early 20th century New York City.
