About this work

This painting shows a busy street scene with people walking, some standing in small groups. A white bus drives down a sloped road between tall buildings and trees. The sky is dark and moody, while the colors below are mostly green, brown, and muted blues. Notice how the artist used thick, textured brushstrokes for the trees and buildings—it gives the scene a rough, almost tangible feel. The people and objects look simplified, almost like cut-out shapes. Look up impasto to see how this technique works in other paintings.
