La Flotta
1913
Imagine standing on a New York promenade in 1913, bundled up in your finest coat and hat, watching a massive fleet of ships cut through the harbor. Glenn O. Coleman paints this exact scene, framing the industrial might of the waterway against a wildly expressive sky streaked with pink and grey clouds. While he was part of the Cubist and American Modernist movements, this piece leans into a moody, almost impressionistic vibe, capturing the quiet awe of city dwellers pausing to take in the view.
