City Lights

Beschreibung

“City Lights” by Rod Chase is a delightful and splendid work of art of a street view of New York City during the winter. The snow is radiating in the glow of the street lights. In the distance stands the amazing Chrysler Building, aglow in this winter cityscape. “The inspiration for City Lights began some time ago during a visit to New York in January. It was after midnight and very cold. Snow was softly falling, and I remember the sky being lit up from the city lights reflecting off the low hanging clouds. It was an alluring scene and made an indelible impression on me. The Chrysler Building, an art deco masterpiece built between 1928 and 1930, is one of New York's most iconic and beloved skyscrapers. It's at its best at dusk, when the stainless-steel spires glow, and at night, when its illuminated geometric design looks like the backdrop to a Hollywood musical. It is particularly magnificent viewed from ground level along Lexington Avenue.” - Rod Chase
