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.
