About the piece
Painted in 1902, Robert Henri’s 'Snow in New York' is a definitive example of American Realism. The work captures the grit and poetry of urban life, using a moody tonal palette and expressive brushwork to render the heavy slush and looming brownstones of Manhattan. Henri's focus on the unvarnished character of the city helped define the Ashcan School aesthetic.
