Cross Streets of New York is a 1899 gouache by Everett Shinn, a Impressionism work, depicting Street, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a New York street scene at night. Soft pastels show rain-slicked streets reflecting streetlights. A horse-drawn carriage and a lone figure with an umbrella move through the glow. Everett Shinn was part of a group called The Eight. They painted everyday life in a raw, less polished way. Big cities at night were his specialty. Look for his other New York night scenes.
Everett Shinn (November 6, 1876 – May 1, 1953) was an American painter and member of the urban realist Ashcan School.
