About the piece
Painted in 1913, Samuel Halpert's 'East River' is a masterful example of early American modernism. The work uses the bold, geometric forms of industrial piers and steamships to frame a hazy urban skyline, rendered in a sophisticated palette of winter whites, deep charcoals, and cool blues. The confident brushwork and balanced composition provide a grounded yet dynamic presence for contemporary interiors.
