Samuel Brecher (1897–1982), West Eighth Street, 1934
Oil on canvas board. Promised gift of Elie and Sarah Hirschfeld, Scenes of New York City
Brecher paints a picturesque Greenwich Village, where sunlight drenches Eighth Street
storefronts near the staircase to the Sixth Avenue El. He frequented this area, home to the newly
