About the Artwork

Queensboro Bridge cuts across the East River from Manhattan toward Queens. Its bold network of beams—described in invented red, black, and blue—contrasts with the curlicues of wafting smoke from a passing tugboat. The French artist painted this view after visiting New York and later exhibited it in Paris.
