Street in the Bronx

About this work

This sketch shows a street scene with a train track running down the middle. On one side, there’s a train stopped at a small station with a yellow-roofed building. The other side has a sidewalk with a few people walking, and power lines stretch across the top. The colors are bright but loose, like quick scribbles in pastels. The artist used crayon instead of paint, which makes the lines look soft and sketchy. The train and station give it a busy, everyday feel. Look up Bluemner, Oscar F. to see how he used color and movement in other works.
