About the piece

Painted in 1902, William Glackens’ 'East River Park' exemplifies the Ashcan School’s interest in the everyday rhythms of city life. The composition balances the leisurely foreground of park-goers against the industrious backdrop of the river’s shipping and smokestacks, rendered with fluid, energetic brushwork.
