Jerome Myers — On The Western Front
Jerome Myers

On The Western Front

A bustling urban street scene rendered in warm, earthy tones captures the vibrant everyday life of New York City's immigrant neighborhoods in Jerome Myers' characteristic style. Figures animate the crowded thoroughfare, their forms loosely painted with an impressionistic touch that conveys the energy and humanity of working-class city life. Myers' empathetic eye brings dignity and warmth to the ordinary moments unfolding along the Western Front, a familiar stretch of Manhattan's Lower East Side.
