<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 112764, member: 37&quot;]A: Had never really noticed the slightly askew roof-line before it was mentioned here.&nbsp; I like this work a lot. Definitely has a WPA feel to it and you really get the sense of a gritty urban environment.&nbsp; I do find the composition a bit odd.&nbsp; It is overly-weighted to the right.&nbsp; The large building on the right competes with the Empire State building.&nbsp; I think if the two were separated a bit more and there was maybe something more interesting on the left, it would make for a stronger work.&nbsp; Perhaps the scene really looks like this and the artists was going for a faithful rendition.&nbsp; However, if artists can move mountains, they can certainly move buildings.&nbsp; Someone mentioned that they didn&#039;t like the composition of the sky.&nbsp; I think it really adds to the painting and gives it a bit of an art deco feel. It is not realistic but think it makes the work more interesting. </p><p><br /></p><p>B:&nbsp; Surprised that more of you don&#039;t like this work.&nbsp; I find it dynamic and think it has a sense of rhythm to it.&nbsp; You get the sense that the city is just humming along fine.&nbsp; I think it also picks up the beauty in what might otherwise be considered an ugly view.&nbsp; I do like A better than B but think this work holds its own.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
