L Fulton Street 1935 - 1943

"L Fulton Street" is a black and white etching by Mortimer Borne. This piece, completed between 1935 and 1943, captures a bustling street scene in New York City, showcasing the artist's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the energy of urban life. The composition features a narrow street, with a towering building and a bridge overhead, and the figures of pedestrians are rendered with expressive lines. Borne’s work often focused on urban landscapes and the lives of ordinary people. Borne was born in 1902 and died in 1987. This etching, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is an excellent example of the artist's signature style, capturing the everyday experiences of the city.
