About the Artwork

Oscar Bluemner (1867–1938), Coney Island, 1904
Watercolor, black ink, and gouache on paper. Promised gift of Elie and Sarah Hirschfeld, Scenes of New York City

This unexpected view pushes Coney Island into the far distance, where it glows across an expanse of foreground wetlands. The composition calls attention to the original site of the amusement park as an actual island amid the salt marshes of New York Bay.
