Coenties Slip
1928
Step into a snowy, bustling New York harbor from 1928! Although Glenn O. Coleman is often linked to Cubism and modernism, this lithograph dives straight into the gritty reality of Coenties Slip. Tall ships loom in the foggy background while the foreground buzzes with life: men loading a horse-drawn cart and locals gathering outside a tavern promising 'Free Drinks on Christmas.' It captures the raw energy of the waterfront, feeling like a scene from a Dickens novel set in the modern American metropolis.
