Ernest Lawson (1873–1939), High Bridge Aqueduct, after 1928
Oil on canvas. Promised gift of Elie and Sarah Hirschfeld, Scenes of New York City
Lawson painted the fringes of New York City. He had the power, said one art collector, to find
“sensuous beauty in dreary places.” This painting of Upper Manhattan—the then-sparsely
populated area where Lawson lived—knits the industrial archway of High Bridge into a
harmonious Impressionist landscape.
