The Mall, Central Park is a 1902 graphite by Maurice Prendergast, held at National Gallery of Art.
Maurice Prendergast shows a sunny day in Central Park. People walk the wide path called The Mall. Bright colors pop in his watercolor and graphite work. Prendergast liked crowds and movement. He painted modern life in a loose, almost sketchy style. This piece feels quick and lively, not stiff or formal. Look for his later works at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
Maurice Brazil Prendergast (October 10, 1858 – February 1, 1924) was a Newfoundlander-American artist who painted in oil and watercolor, and created monotypes.
