About the piece
Painted in 1918 by George Luks, this striking work depicts the 'Blue Devils,' elite French mountain infantry, marching through New York City. The composition contrasts the deep shadows of the urban architecture with the luminous blue of the uniforms and patriotic flags fluttering above the crowd.
