About the piece

Painted in 1902, Childe Hassam’s ‘Broadway and 42nd Street’ captures the electric energy and atmospheric haze of New York City at night. Through rapid, broken brushstrokes and a moody blue palette, the artist transforms a busy intersection into a luminous, contemplative scene of urban life during the height of the American Impressionist movement.
