"Herman Rose Gansevoort st pier New York oil on canvas signed lower left measuring 10 3/8\u201D x 20 3/4\u201D in excellent condition. \r\n&lt;p&gt;Known for small scale, modernist urban views of New York City, he depicted the city as a jumble of architecture in varying sombre colors in a mood reminiscent of 19th century Romanticism. He had a highly original technique, which was covering a drawing with small dabs of paint and pushing spots of warm and cool color over one another, which dried into a kind of low relief.\r\n\r\nIt took him about a decade, from 1929 to 1939, to arrive at this style and method that seemed right for him. He decided to paint what he saw without consciousness as to style or composition and with spiritual commitment, devoting himself to divinity in nature, separated from the modern world. \r\n\r\nBy the 1960s, he was doing horizontal work in brighter hues that gave the viewer the impression of being swept along a street or urban path."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
